It seems to me that the world has just recently caught up to the work that you've been doing for a very, very long time about gaslighting because you actually coined the term gaslighting effect. That was a long time ago, and now it's just so in the zeitgeist. We're catching up to you. So can you start by explaining to us what the origin of the word gaslighting is? Sure.

What's interesting to me about this is that you mentioned too in your work that women can have the double shame. We're being gaslighted, but then we feel double shame that we're supposed to be strong people and how are we being gaslighted? But what's interesting to me is that very strong women are often the people who are gaslighted.

You even point out in your work that it can be a reaction to the idea that, oh, wait, I'm with a woman and her power is greater than mine. And so I'm going to correct it. Mm-hmm. By putting her in her place, throwing her off balance. Like Amanda, when I think about that relationship, you were in terms of in high school, more powerful than that guy was in terms of social standing.

And often in marriages, when a woman is making more money or when a woman is stepping out of line in terms of gender expectations, that's when the gaslighting comes. So it's important not to feel shame about having been gaslighted.

The holidays are almost here. Between traveling, hosting family, and finding the perfect gift, it's such an exciting, busy, and yes, sometimes stressful time. Luckily, I've teamed up with Ring, and it helped me stay connected to home for all the merry moments, even when I'm on the go. With Ring, you've got your whole home covered.
