What are the three signs you’re being gaslit?
In today's episode, I'm going to be talking about the three must-know signs of whether you are being gaslit. So we're going to be talking about how do you know it, what to do, and if it's you who's actually unconsciously, unknowingly doing the gaslighting. All that and more, coming up.

Almost always I get the question of what exactly is gaslighting? I know I've talked about it on this podcast, but it's worth reiterating again. Gaslighting is a term that has come about to me when somebody is trying to distort your reality in communication. They are trying to make you question your truth, the veracity of what you say, to make you question your own state of mind. It comes from what I researched as a term from a play, and I think it was actually a movie, like in the 1930s. where it was a woman and her husband and in the house they had a gas light out in the in the yard and what he would do is every once in a while turn it a little bit lower and she'd say like isn't it i think it's that light's a little bit lower and he's like i don't know what you're talking about you're you're crazy it looks exactly like like it was yesterday and the whole moral of the story was that she eventually just kind of lost her mind where she was
doubting everything, right? And it was a control tactic by this husband of saying, you can't trust your own memory. You can only trust me. That's really what gaslighting is. It's where you're saying, look, you can't trust what you think. You have to trust what I think. I'm the one who's responsible. I'm the one who is going to say what you should think and how you should think it and what's the truth and what's not the truth. What I say is the truth, not what you say. And so gaslighting presents itself in a way in a variety of different ways. And it can be conscious, unconscious, meaning it can be intentional and also unintentional. For example, maybe have you ever tried to get somebody off the scent of something?
