S:4 E: 3 Gaslighting and Politics
from United States of PTSD · host Matthew Boucher LICSW LCDP and Co-host Dr. Erika Lin-Hendel
Send us Fan MailGaslighting is more than just someone “lying.” It’s the slow, repeated pressure that makes you question your memory, minimize your needs, and hand over your trust in your own judgment. Erika and I explore what this looks like at a deeper level and how it can create PTSD in us. This extends further when political rhetoric and gaslighting become synonymous. We talked about how capitalism thrives on keeping us divided and powerless. We need to work together to take back both our power and our sanity.
