“The ‘Gaslight Effect’ is a term to describe what happens when you begin to second-guess yourself because you’ve allowed another person to define your reality and erode your judgment. It is a phenomenon called gaslighting, and it is soul destroying.”
Gaslighting is a type of emotional abuse in which the victim doubts their own memory, perception, feelings, and sanity. In this interactive webinar, participants will learn: 1) what gaslighting is, 2) to recognize the warning signs of a gaslighting relationship, 3) the different profiles of gaslighters, and 4) how to help survivors heal from emotional abuse. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.
