Description:
Gaslighting is a term used to describe a dynamic that can occur in romantic, parental, and workplace relationships, that involves two participants; the “gaslighter”, who persistently puts forth a false narrative, and the “gaslighted”, who struggles to maintain their individual autonomy and reality. Typically, gaslighting is effective when there is an unequal power dynamic, and is distinct, in that one partner is consistently listening and considering the other partner’s perspective; and one partner is consistently negating the other’s perception, insisting they are wrong, or telling them that their emotional reaction is irrational. When gaslighting happens over time, the listening partner may exhibit symptoms often associated with anxiety disorders, depression, or low self-esteem. Please join psychoanalyst Dr. Robin Stern, author of “The Gaslighting Effect – How to Spot and Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control your Life” in our new webinar. She will help you help your client to spot the personal red flags, understand the destructive power of gaslighting, help the client recognize how they entered the gaslighting dynamic, and learn strategies to stop the gaslighting or, to leave the relationship.
