Gaslighting: Understanding and Healing from Abuse

When someone else creates an alternate reality within which we feel crazy, and causes us to doubt our own sanity, this is called Gaslighting.

And what are the aftereffects of having our sense of reality shaken, and how do we heal?

Join Sarah Peyton and Jaya Manske for a 90-minute exploration of what we know about gaslighting and steps for recovery.
