Episode 85: Gaslighting

Do you ever feel like something's off, but you can't quite put your finger on it?

Join Joseph and Paula as they dive deep into the world of gaslighting, a subtle yet devastating form of emotional manipulation that can leave you questioning your own reality. 

In this episode they unravel the origins of the term “gaslighting” and explore its insidious presence in relationships from families to the workplace. 

Your co-hosts will talk through the signs, phrases, and harms of gaslighting and discuss strategies to make changes if you are being gaslit.
