Idiot Compassion (aka Yeslighting)
from Now That You See It Hosted by Pancho Gomez & Kim Paull
Idiot Compassion (aka Yeslighting) might look like empathy at first glance, but it's actually a way we avoid the uncomfortable realities in our lives and relationships. It keeps us stuck in shallow relationships. It blocks growth and prevents learning, both for us and the people we care about. In our debut episode, Pancho and Kim briefly discuss Kim's excitement for back to school, Pancho's wedding planning process, and the nuances of executive functioning with ADHD. Then they dive into the heart of the episode: why yeslighting, gaslighting’s more common and equally subversive cousin, is so easy to fall into and so hard to see until you name it.
