#023: AFAF with Staci Ross on How to Identify Gaslighting (PART 1)

In this episode (part one), Staci Ross, M.A., L.M.F.T., of over 20 years, holistic health coach and Reiki master answers questions and walks us through what gaslighting and manipulation really are. We hear these terms thrown around often and wonder if we use them accurately. Staci eloquently guides us to better understand these serious traits. As you listen, remember gaslighting comes in phases: disbelief, defense and depression. There’s a difference between being manipulative and a person who is gaslighting. Gaslighting is the extreme action of a manipulator. It is systemic, an intentional attempt to break down another over time.  A person who gaslights chips away at our support systems; they breed isolation. Staci’s years of wisdom both personally and professionally on these topics give us a foundation for the “what” on these massive areas. Check out our next episode (part 2) about solutions, examples, and how to discern these behaviors in our own lives.    Music by epidemic sound.
