Medical Gaslighting: When the Doctor Was Wrong

from The Life Shift | Conversations About Life Before and After · host Matt Gilhooly

Have you ever reached a point where the answers you’re given simply stop feeling right? Where you realize that trusting your own instincts might be the only way forward. For Piper, that moment came in a doctor’s office when she was told her son just needed a spanking. Something inside her knew that wasn’t true. What followed was a full transformation born from love and determination. She went back to school, relearned what she thought she knew about health, and built a life that would help not only her son but hundreds of other families, too. Along the way, she found her own healing in the process. This conversation is about listening to that quiet voice inside you. It’s about the courage to question what you’ve been told and the hope that grows when you refuse to give up. Take your time with this one. It is gentle and full of heart. What You’ll Hear A mother’s turning point after harmful medical advice How childhood trauma shaped a life built on self-reliance Discovering purpose in the middle of fear and uncertainty The surprising ways healing her son led to her own transformation The strength found in trusting intuition over authority How sharing one story can light the way for others Guest Bio Dr. Piper Gibson founded the Tic Disorder Institute: Regenerating Health and Elite Gene Labs, where she empowers families and healthcare professionals to address tic disorders and optimize wellness. She is a Doctor of Functional Medicine, Advanced Holistic Nutrition, and a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine. She is also the author of Tic Talk: Common Misconceptions, Natural Approaches, and Real Conversations about Tic Disorders.
