About this listen

Today on Almost Oblivious, we’re tackling one of the most subtle — and most damaging — forms of emotional abuse: gaslighting.
Gaslighting is a targeted form of psychological manipulation that causes you to doubt your memories, emotions, and sanity. But knowledge is power, and we’re shining a bright light on these dark tactics in this episode.

We’ll break down:

  • What gaslighting really is (and what it isn’t)

  • How it shows up in relationships, workplaces, families, and more

  • Psychological effects gaslighting has on survivors

  • Real-life examples you might recognize

  • How to recognize the signs and begin trusting yourself again

  • Practical steps for protecting yourself and healing


You are not crazy. You are not broken. You are not alone.
