And when somebody, you know, completely denies your reality every day, every minute of your life, and then twists the truth on you constantly, and makes you question your instincts, and then all of that can start to make you feel so confused and twisted and not even know anything about yourself.

So guess what the key is? We're gonna be looking at how to trust ourselves again.

And then we're gonna look at the aftermath, 'cause the aftermath of living then with self-doubt and hypervigilance, confusion, and fear.

Uh, fear especially that, you know, any relationship you're gonna get into, that the person will gaslight you again, or that you'll be s- deceived or, you know, that everything in the world is a lie.

Then we're gonna talk about how we move out of that, and practical ways to build emotional...

So we're not really rebuilding an old way of trusting, 'cause that's what led us to the gaslighting to begin with.

We're building a new foundation for trust that's gonna be stronger, better, and far more functional, and it's gonna help you to have better relationships.

So we're gonna look at how gaslighting affects your brain and your body, 'cause it does.

We're also gonna look at how you can begin to have trust again, and then we're also gonna look at building that new structure so that it's not really rebuilding.

And then we're gonna figure out how to move the F forward, 'cause who wants to be stuck in that loopy, loopy pile of poo? I don't know anybody that wants to be stuck in a loopy pile of poo, so we are gonna get out of that loopy pile of poo.

If you have experienced gaslighting in a relationship, then you already know what gaslighting means probably.

Uh, but if you're not sure if you have, I'm sure through this conversation you'll be able to figure out whether you have been gaslit or not.

Um, the term gaslighting actually came from a movie years ago, I think it was 1938, and it was called, I believe, Gaslit.

Uh, yeah, so in 1938 there was a stage play called Gaslit, and there was a deceitful husband that manipulates his wife, and basically just has her, uh, confused and the whole time believing that she's gonna lose her mind.

Um, so she's losing her mind by secretly dimming the house's gaslights and then denying that the lighting is changing.

So he is changing the lighting in the house, the gaslights, which is where we get the term gaslighting from.
