Something to Normalize

In this episode, Brandi and Ginny discuss how gaslighting happens in communities, alienating individuals who attempt to disrupt the status quo. Brandi tells the story of systematic gaslighting in a graduate program, which ultimately led to her leaving the school without a degree. In reflection with Ginny years later, she’s able to unpack the strategies used to dismantle self-trust so that others can recognize and respond to this type of abuse effectively in their own lives.

They help listeners to:

• Recognize and confront gaslighting in their lives, empowering them to create healthier relationships.

• Understand the impact of gaslighting on individuals, and learn strategies to reclaim power and self-esteem.

• Explore the connection between systemic gaslighting and misogyny, racism, and homophobia in order to understand how these dynamics perpetuate unhealthy environments and increase power differentials that already exist.

• Learn effective strategies for navigating gaslighting, giving you the tools to protect yourself and maintain your autonomy.

• Understand the importance of support and validation in healing from gaslighting, and discover resources to help you on your journey.
