It's not just about lying; it's a slow, methodical process that can deeply affect one's mental health. Ryan walks listeners through the various signs and stages of gaslighting, including something he calls the 'GasLight Tango'.

For anyone who suspects they might be a victim of gaslighting, this episode is a must-listen. Ryan's empathetic approach makes complex psychological concepts easy to understand, offering listeners the tools they need to protect their mental health.
