Gaslighting Explained: The Ultimate Guide to What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Stop It
from Normalize therapy.
"I’m not crazy... am I?" If you have ever asked yourself this question after a conversation with your partner, you might be trapped in the fog of gaslighting. In this episode, Clinical Director Caleb Simonyi-Gindele and host Verlynda break down one of the most insidious forms of emotional abuse. Gaslighting isn't just lying; it is a systematic dismantling of your reality. We discuss: The Red Flags: How to distinguish between a normal disagreement and calculated manipulation (like the DARVO tactic). The Psychology: Why does someone gaslight? Is it always malicious, or is it sometimes a defense mechanism for their own shame? The Way Out: Practical, compassionate steps to stop arguing with a distorted reality, document the truth, and rebuild trust in your own intuition. You are not imagining things, and you are not alone.
