#22: How to Tell if Your Partner is Gaslighting You (Gaslighting Mini Series Part 1)

Hello Therapy: Mental Health Tips For Personal Growth

Could you be unknowingly trapped in a relationship where you are being consistently gaslit by your partner?
In the first part of a mini series on gaslighting, I dissect the intricate and often invisible web of gaslighting in romantic relationships. By the end of the episode you will have a greater understanding of what gaslighting is and how simple accusations of overreacting or being too sensitive can spiral into a full-blown crisis of self-doubt, confusion and poor mental health.
Discover the signs and insidious stages of gaslighting, from initial love bombing to a complete erosion of self-worth and self-confidence, drawing on the latest research in the area. I explore the isolation tactics that make victims increasingly dependent on a gaslighter's narrative. This episode sheds light on the crucial turning point when victims begin to see through the manipulation and embark on their recovery journey.
This episode isn't just an eye-opener; it's a lifeline for those seeking to reclaim their mental health.
Highlights include:
(02:35) Types of Gaslighting
(05:45) Signs You Are Being Gaslit
(10:19) The Stages of Gaslighting in Romantic Relationships
(14:04) What To Do If Your Partner Is Gaslighting You
