Gaslighting: Reclaiming Your Reality and Self-Trust
Manage episode 507074319 series 2838668
In this episode, Kamini Wood defines gaslighting as a form of emotional manipulation where one person deliberately twists information to make another person question their own reality, feelings, and sanity. She outlines its three stages: disbelief, where you dismiss your gut feelings; defense, where you argue your point but become exhausted and confused; and depression, which leads to emotional exhaustion and a loss of self-trust. Kamini explains that gaslighting undermines a person's self-trust and ties their self-worth to the manipulator's approval. She offers strategies for healing and reclaiming personal power, including validating your own experiences, establishing firm boundaries, and rebuilding self-trust through journaling, seeking support from trusted individuals, and practicing self-compassion.
