🚨 Gaslighting Explained: How Manipulation Rewires the Brain
Manage episode 509768481 series 3490743
Gaslighting is the manipulation tactic of our age — and it’s spreading fast.
In this episode we explore how gaslighting affects the brain, the psychological patterns of manipulation, and the hidden toll of workplace gaslighting. Learn how to recognise emotional abuse and protect yourself from harm.
Gaslighting isn’t just emotional harm, it literally rewires your brain. And it’s happening everywhere — in homes, in workplaces, and across every screen you scroll.
At The FEMCAST, we’re on a mission to help you spot gaslighting in real time, protect yourself, and stopping manipulation before it takes hold.
From our last series, The Bullied Brain with Dr Jen Fraser, you’ll know Jen revealed how abuse damages the brain — and how healing is possible. But this time, it’s all about prevention.
In this series, we break down what gaslighting really is, emotional abuse recovery, workplace gaslighting, psychological safety, manipulation tactics, narcissistic abuse, trauma and the brain, how the manipulator’s brain works, who’s most at risk, and why it’s becoming dangerously normalised.
This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a wake-up call. Because gaslighting thrives in silence, but knowledge breaks the cycle.
