Summary

Gaslighting isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a real communication pattern that quietly distorts reality and leaves you questioning yourself. In this episode, I break down the three must-know signs you’re being gaslit, the subtle conversation shifts that give it away, and exactly what to say in the moment to stay grounded and in control. I also flip the lens inward and share how to recognize if you’re unintentionally gaslighting someone else — and how to stop it before it becomes a pattern.
