In this episode I talk about the concept of gaslighting and why narcissistic people tend to re-emerge in our lives during the holidays.

The term gaslighting is discussed. Abusers create/manipulate a gaslit environment so their target is powerless to fight back. I give several personal examples of this. 

Victim vs. Survivor- for those of us who have experienced abuse and are learning about it and how to prevent it moving forward- we are survivors, not victims. The victims are the abusers- they have no control over their own environment and life, so they project their lack of control by controlling others in an abusive dynamic. They portray themselves as the victim of being powerless, over things they truly have power over.
