147: How to Know If You Are Being Gaslit or Gaslighting Others with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

by neeta bhushan

PODCAST

Hey there, Brave Table fam! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that’s crucial to our relational success. We’ll be exploring the concept of gaslighting – what it is, how to spot it in ourselves and those around us, and how it can affect our relationships. I’ll be sharing some powerful techniques to help you navigate those tough conversations and challenging emotions that we all face from time to time.

In this episode, I talk about…

  • Breaking down empathy, recognizing when others are denying experiences & minimizing feelings
  • Shifting blame, creating conflict & their impact on communication
  • Knowing your emotional Type & reacting in tough moments

It’s so important to remember to acknowledge and validate the emotions of others, and equally vital to practice self-awareness and self-compassion in our own lives. Remember, our greatest teachers are the relationships we have with ourselves and others. As we navigate this journey towards recognizing and addressing gaslighting dynamics, let’s find the beauty and healing in embracing our emotions.
