Gaslighting

What this episode covers

Have you ever left a conversation feeling more confused than when you started? Like you had to apologize for something you didn't even do? That nagging feeling that you're "too sensitive" or "remembering things wrong" might not be a flaw in your memory—it might be a sign of something much more calculated.In this episode, we’re diving deep into the anatomy of gaslighting. We explore the origins of the term from the 1938 stage production Gas Light to its modern-day usage popularized by Dr. Robin Stern. We also break down the specific tactics used in this form of emotional abuse—such as denial, countering, and trivializing—and discuss how to distinguish a genuine misunderstanding from systematic manipulation. Whether it’s in intimate relationships, the workplace, or even medical settings, understanding how gaslighting works is the first step to reclaiming your reality.Connect with the Show:Website: www.yourmindonpodcast.com Instagram: @yourmindonpodcastEmail: [email protected] Credits:Host: John Shaw Intro Music: "More Now Than Ever" by North Sphere.Topic Suggestion: A special thank you to Mike for suggesting this week’s topic.
