I’ve Been Self-Gaslighting a Lot Lately: Why It’s Happening, What I’m Doing, and Why I’m Not Freaked Out

MP3•Episode home

Lately, I’ve caught myself spiraling into self-gaslighting quite a bit—wondering if I’m exaggerating my childhood trauma, if maybe my mom wasn’t really a narcissist, or if I’m just “too sensitive.” If you’ve ever doubted your own reality, you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, I share:

Why self-gaslighting shows up (especially around stressful seasons like the holidays)
The hidden reasons cycle breakers start questioning themselves
How I personally deal with these thoughts today—without letting them derail my healing
Why it no longer scares me the way it used to

Self-gaslighting doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you grew up in a toxic family system that trained you to doubt yourself.
