Ever felt like you were losing your grip on reality? Gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation, can do just that. In this episode of 'Restored Hope', Bisi Gbadebo dives deep into the insidious nature of gaslighting in abusive relationships. It starts subtly, with little comments or actions that make you question your memory or perceptions. Over time, it escalates, leaving victims doubting their self-worth and sanity.
This manipulation can lead to chronic anxiety, depression, and even complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). The emotional toll is immense, making it hard for victims to trust their judgment or make decisions. Bisi emphasizes the importance of education and awareness in combating gaslighting. By understanding the tactics used by abusers, victims can begin to see through the fog of manipulation. Seeking support from friends, family, or mental health professionals is crucial in starting the healing process.
Bisi's compassionate approach offers hope and practical advice for anyone feeling trapped in a cycle of gaslighting. She encourages listeners to reach out for help and reminds them that they deserve a life free from abuse and manipulation. If you're struggling with gaslighting or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. It's a beacon of hope and a guide to reclaiming your confidence and well-being.
