Do you feel that you are on the receiving end of emotional abuse and looking for ways to heal?

Then this episode is for you. Tara and Anna's very
first episode (June 2020) was about Gaslighting and it was such a popular topic that they decided to bring in a guest expert and discuss it even further. The goal is also to learn how you can recover from this emotional abuse and heal yourself.

Today Tara welcomes guest expert,
Deborah Vinall, Doctor of Psychology, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a certified EMDR and Brainspotting practitioner. She specializes in helping individuals heal from traumatic life experiences and painful relationship dynamics.  She is here to talk about her book "Gaslighting: A Step-by-Step Recovery Guide to Heal from Emotional Abuse and Build Healthy Relationships".

Tune in to learn more about:

-  How we can recognize if/when someone is gaslighting us?

-
Gaslighting myths in relation to  other personality disorders, such as narcissistic personality disorder.

-The
“cycle” of gaslighting -love bombing, devaluing, discarding, hoovering

- Why it is important to know that you can’t “fix” an abuser if you just “do things
right,” and why this approach doesn’t work.

- Why establishing
healthy boundaries is essential to combatting gaslighting.
