23: Gaslighting, I've experienced this, have you?

Have you ever heard of "gaslighting"? It can be a bit of a buzzword but what does it actually mean? It's actually a fairly common, albeit harmful, form of manipulation and control. It causes someone to second-guess their own experiences, opinions, memories and instincts. People who have experienced gaslighting feel like they are constantly walking on eggshells, apologizing for themselves, have a difficult making basic decisions, and a lot more. In this episode, Leah unpacks what it is, examples of what this looks like and how to be more aware of when this could be happening to you!  Resources: Type "gaslighting" in any podcast search for more episodes on the topic!
