"It's especially hard when you've been GASLIT that long!"

"It's especially hard when you've been GASLIT that long!"

Welcome to Deconstructing Gaslighting the podcast, and welcome to a new month, with a new theme. This month we’re going to be exploring different areas or relationships people experience gaslighting in, and we’re going to start with the one that people are typically MOST aware of – gaslighting in their intimate partnership. And I’m REALLY excited today, because I’m brining on a woman who gives representation to a demographic that is sorely under-represented – but whatever demographic you find yourself in, I’m sure you’re going to be able to relate to things she share about the gaslighting she experienced in her 43 year marriage.

Thank you for being a part of this community. I’d love for you to follow me AND interact with me on your preferred social media platform where we can interact… I’m on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Story Time: Sarah and her guest, Pat, talk about what is was like for Pat to experience GASLIGHTING in her over 40 years of marriage!


Top Take-Aways: Things that I thought could be some take-aways from my and Pat’s conversation:

Notice when you’re putting all your focus on the other person, and instead focus on yourself!

  1. Ask yourself the “better question” – what is and is not okay with me in this relationship
  2. When you look at the amount of work your person is putting into the relationship and their own healing, ask yourself, is it enough for me?
  3. If/when they say they’re doing their best, remind yourself that just because it’s their best, that doesn’t mean it has to be good enough for you.
  4. Learn to be the love of your own life.


And remember – you may have crashed and burned; been broke and hurt, but damn it, you’re a phoenix and you’re rising again. I think it’s time we fly.
