S:4 E: 3 Gaslighting and Politics

Send us Fan Mail

Gaslighting is more than just someone “lying.” It’s the slow, repeated pressure that makes you question your memory, minimize your needs, and hand over your trust in your own judgment. Erika and I explore what this looks like at a deeper level and how it can create PTSD in us.  This extends further when political rhetoric and gaslighting become synonymous.  We talked about how capitalism thrives on keeping us divided and powerless.  We need to work together to take back both our power and our sanity.
