Gaslighting isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, it’s subtle—a dismissive glance, a backhanded comment, or even silence. In this episode, Dr. Charlie Hornes unpacks the insidious nature of gaslighting and how it messes with your sense of reality. Learn what gaslighting really is (hint: it’s not just a buzzword), how it rewires your brain, and how to spot the signs before it takes over.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Anchor Yourself in Facts: Write down events immediately after they happen. Stick to the facts to avoid self-doubt later.
2. Set Boundaries: You don’t need a gaslighter to co-sign your truth. State your reality and disengage.
3. Find Your Allies: Lean on trusted friends, coaches, or therapists for validation and support.

💡 Pro Tip: Gaslighting thrives on silence. Talk it through and reclaim your power.
