Dr. Steven Hassan w/ Dr. Robin Stern -The Gaslight Effect: Protecting Yourself from Emotional Abuse

10 long years from gaslighting, church coven

I started keeping a work-journal … with all the timestamps, for “billable hours” of work for customers. anything else, write a tiny note also with a timestamp. mosty because my boss was gaslighting everyone, and I dislike getting scapegoated. 😢 the accountant went over my records & discovering the boss was embezzling. 😂

are gaslighters are often “up to something,” like theft, using the gaslighting to hide it? 🤷‍♀️

about A.I. … fwiw, technically they don’t lie, or hallucinate … nor do they tell the truth? they just build sentences that a human might have written, based on amazingly intricate statistics.

also, probably no one has explained to the A.I. that some of the sources it was trained on were authors who were reeaaallllyy high on something. 😂

👏👍

If anyone can point me to a video where Steven Hassan talks more about the Pseudo-Self and getting rid of it avter leaving, I would be extremly greatfull!

I wish I had known about gaslighting when I was much younger. Not knowing makes people extremely vulnerable. My ex had me convinced that his parents were really his grandparents, among other lies, and it wasn't until after I finally met them that the truth came out. It was too late to get out then. He had even made up names for his fake "real parents" and long stories about why he was not raised by them. Over time his lies became a "normal" fixture in our relationship. At the end, when he was deeply involved with another woman and planning to empty our joint bank account to start a new family with her, the gaslighting became unendurable. He lied about EVERYTHING. It affected our kids terribly. He died after doing irreparable damage to the family without ever apologizing for all the lies. After 15 years I'm glad he's still dead. Gaslighting is abuse. Never forget that.

I suspect whataboutism to be a form of gaslighting.

Would've liked to hear more about how to protect yourself from group milieu gaslighting; group dynamics.

I wonder if the psychodynamics of battling gaslighting also apply while covert hypnotization is a factor... Yuck.

Exactly guys! Thank you for voices of reason!

if i get commercials for aids medication and tampons while watching this or while making plans to get away from a cult but at no other times and i start thinking anybody who feels the need to fight back aginst a cult might be weak or taboo in some way could that be gasslighting ?

The commercials im seeing and video suggestions I see while watching this lead me to believe that your channel could make me constipated and cause baldness or cancer.

Could 9/11 be a total gaslight episode. You ask any iron worker can a plane knock down a steel building and They will say h--- no. The gaslighting is yes the planes did. Live videos showed no planes only explosions. Was the gaslighting the photo shopped planes in all the newscast we saw? Is our entire reality a gaslighting episode?

Hi Dr Hassan I'm so glad I found you here. I'm a counselor and I have been wanting to learn how to deprogram people from this Destructive cult that has been growing for the past 7 years & is tearing our country apart. Do you have trainings scheduled? I believe we're going to need a lot of counselors, doctor's, social workers, etc trained to do this work when the time comes. Thank you so much for this much needed work!

My Daughter Lied "Gaslit" and "tortured" me for 20 plus years while hiding that she & husband were in a cult.

I can't make it through the intro without crying.

She is talking about stages! Oh my fucking God I brought this exact point up with my wife! Holy shit I had no idea any of this existed.
