About this episode

Have you been gaslighted before? Is it happening to you right now?

If you’re not sure what “Gaslighting” means… It’s when someone manipulates you by psychological means into doubting your own sanity.

Over time, this can have a dramatic effect on our self-esteem as we slowly begin to doubt ourselves until we no longer trust our own instincts.

It’s nasty.

 

f you’ve ever expressed your needs to someone or tried to tell them about something they did that hurt you and you were made to feel crazy, this message is for you.

It’s a horrible feeling when we are upset or anxious and we don’t even know if what we are saying is reasonable or whether we are overreacting… that’s why I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode.

It’s going to bring you a sense of peace and calm again... I’ve got your back, friend.
