Dr. Robin Stern is not your average psycho-therapist \u2013 she\u2019s renowned for her work in emotional intelligence, relationships, and well being. And she\u2019s the psychological sleuth who\u2019s highlighted one particularly culty behavior: gaslighting. Fun fact: Dr. Stern actually coined the phrase \u201cthe gaslight effect.\u201d\xa0\xa0

As we know, gaslighting is straight out of the culty charismatic coercive fuckwad playbook. But we want to get specific and don\u2019t mean to merely call names. So in this episode, we go full CSI on gaslighting with Dr. Stern. We dissect the term with the expert who wrote several books on the subject: The Gaslight Effect and The Gaslight Effect Recovery Guide.
