If you have been a victim of gaslighting, no matter what work- personal, professional, parental, spousal- doesn't matter. You doubt your feelings and you doubt your reality.
Imagine being constantly made to doubt your own reality. That's the insidious nature of gaslighting, a form of emotional abuse that can leave you feeling lost and insecure. In this episode of 'The Buttrfly Effect', host Gail Ferguson Jones dives into this unsettling topic with Tami Reseda Atman, author and host of 'The Stuck Stops Here' podcast. Atman, who has extensively researched gaslighting, shares her personal experiences with narcissistic family relationships and codependency.
Together, they explore how gaslighting can entangle individuals in cycles of generational dysfunction. Atman emphasizes the importance of setting healthy boundaries, cultivating emotional intelligence, and holding oneself accountable as key steps in the recovery process. She brings her insights to life through anecdotes from her own journey and discusses her book and podcast, both dedicated to breaking free from these toxic patterns.
Atman also touches on her musical project, 'Torch Songs for the Healing Journey', which she describes as a therapeutic outlet for those on the path to recovery. Throughout the conversation, Jones and Atman offer practical advice on recognizing the signs of gaslighting and taking steps to reclaim one's sense of self. This episode is a heartfelt discussion that provides not just understanding but actionable steps towards healing.
Whether you're dealing with gaslighting yourself or supporting a loved one through it, you'll find this conversation both enlightening and empowering.
