Episode Details

"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.
