Gaslighting: Understanding and Healing from Emotional Manipulation

The more you understand about your enemy, the more you can protect yourself and overcome that.
Have you ever felt like your reality was being twisted by someone else? That's the insidious nature of gaslighting, a form of emotional manipulation that has recently gained widespread attention. In this thought-provoking episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg dives into the nitty-gritty of gaslighting, explaining what it is, where it comes from, and how it impacts victims.
Drawing from his 35 years of experience as a psychotherapist and his personal healing journey, Ross breaks down the psychological tricks used by gaslighters to distort their victim's perception of reality. He explains that gaslighting goes beyond mere lying; it's about making someone question their own sanity and memories. Ross also discusses the roots of this behavior, often stemming from attachment trauma, which leads individuals to manipulate others as a way to cope with their own insecurities.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Ross offers practical advice on how to recognize gaslighting and protect oneself from its damaging effects. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, taking responsibility for one's choices, and seeking professional help to untangle the web of lies that gaslighting creates. Whether you're dealing with gaslighting in a relationship, at work, or within your family, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps to reclaim your sense of reality and self-worth.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of this manipulative tactic and learn how to break free from its grip.
