Gaslighting is one of those words that once you hear about it, you think to yourself \u201cthat\u2019s what I\u2019ve been dealing with all this time!?\u201d When someone is gaslighting you, they are undermining your reality by denying facts and making you think you\u2019re crazy. You find yourself asking questions like: Am I at fault? Did I do something wrong? Am I crazy? Do I need to start recording my conversations?\nNedra Glover Tawwab is joining Lisa in this episode to take a deeper dive into manipulation and more specifically, gaslighting. If you\u2019ve been in a relationship where you weren\u2019t even aware that you were being gaslit, or you didn\u2019t have the word to perfectly capture all the craziness and frustration, this is for you! Knowing how to recognize it is the first step in knowing how to respond and avoid being a victim of gaslighting in the future.\nThese are unhealthy relationships to be a part of, getting the knowledge you need so you can apply it in the future is the beginning of stepping into your power.\xa03 Impactful Ideas from Nedra:\n1.
