Episode 013

Summary:

Dianne today continues to describe what victims go through with Gaslighting. It is a key element used by psychopaths.
Victims of psychopaths either in the workplace, at home or in relationships find that they get the feeling they are being done is making them feel crazy.

Key Points:

  • Gaslighting usually happens gradually in a relationship
  • It can happen with your boss, a parent or friends, or romantic relationships.
  • Gaslighting is to decrease someone’s self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Psychopaths who gaslight you will systematically and frequently withhold information and then deliberately alter facts to disorientate their victim.
  • If the psychopath in your life is making you feel crazy — and accusing you of being too sensitive to make the “crazy” label stick — the problem might not be all in your head.

Psychopaths were interviewed in Dianne’s book about Gaslighting. Please subscribe to the show on iTunes, Google Play, Facebook, Youtube, and on the website. You can get in touch with Dianne on her website or by .

Episode 012

Summary:

In Episode 012, Dianne talks about how psychopath harm the victims by the of use Gaslighting (a form of mental abuse). The word Gaslighting was first used in a play in the 1938 version. A movie about Gaslighting was released in 1945. The term Gaslighting comes from the psychopath flickering the lights and dimming the lights used at that time.

Gaslighting starts out very slowly and increases over time. The end goal is to get the victim to start to question their sanity. Typically victims start to believe they are in fact crazy because the Gaslighting is so hard to detect.

Gaslighting will be discussed further in the next podcast. Please subscribe to the show on iTunes, Google Play, Facebook, Youtube, and on the website.
