WHAT IF IT’S YOU?
Gaslighting is one of the most misused psychological terms on social media — and most people don’t actually understand what it means.
In this episode, we break down what gaslighting really is, why it’s often misidentified, and the uncomfortable reality most conversations avoid:
Most gaslighting is not intentional manipulation. It’s self-deception and distorted perception.
In this episode you’ll learn:
The real definition of gaslighting vs how the term is used online
The difference between objective reality and subjective perception
Why projection is the most common cause of gaslighting
How brain patterns distort perception under stress
The difference between intentional gaslighting and unconscious behavior
Everyday examples of accidental gaslighting in relationships, families, and work
How childhood exposure to gaslighting affects adult behavior
Why accusing someone of gaslighting often makes conflict worse
What to say instead of “you’re gaslighting me”
This episode explains how assumptions, emotional reactivity, and perception gaps create confusion and conflict — even between well-intentioned people. It also explains why labeling someone as a gaslighter rarely leads to resolution or accountability.
If you’ve ever felt confused after a conversation, questioned your own memory, or wondered whether perception itself might be part of the problem — this episode will change how you see gaslighting.
