The prison door is open. You can walk out anytime you want. The only thing holding you back is fear
In this episode, Joe Ryan dives into the thorny issue of narcissistic gaslighting. If you've ever felt like you're constantly being manipulated or made to doubt your own reality, this one's for you. Joe doesn't hold back as he explains how gaslighting is less about the perpetrator and more about how you react to it. He stresses the importance of recognising your worth and not letting the toxic behaviour of others dictate your self-esteem.
By sharing personal stories and client experiences, Joe illustrates how changing your response can disrupt the harmful patterns that keep you stuck in unhealthy relationships. He urges you to focus on building self-respect and understanding your own value, rather than seeking validation from those who are incapable of giving it. The episode is a raw, honest look at how you can reclaim your power and start living a life free from the control of others.
If you're ready to break free from the cycle of gaslighting and take charge of your emotional well-being, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. Why wait for someone else to change when you have the power to change yourself?
