And she's going to talk to us today about what gaslighting is, what it isn't, who is most susceptible to gaslighting, and how we can get ourselves out of gaslighting relationships and make ourselves gaslight resistant. I cannot wait for this conversation. I really think that all of my 40s and likely much of my 50s will be about un-gaslighting myself and learning to become gaslight resistant.

That's the refrain, the thesis statement of Untamed was, I'm not crazy, I'm a goddamn cheetah because I think a lot about growing up as a woman is about... rejecting the idea that there was ever anything wrong with you. And so this topic, I just find absolutely fascinating. It's what I'm doing in my everyday life and I can't wait to get some expert. Advice from Dr. Robin Stern.

Welcome, Dr. Stern.

Well, I'm so grateful to you. I know you use he and she because in your practice, you have seen mostly men gaslighting and women as gaslightees, which is very interesting, of course, because women are conditioned to be more empathic. It's not like we're all born gaslighters or gaslightees. We are conditioned, but Abby and I are married and lesbians be gaslighting the shit out of each other. Okay.
