About this listen
A mental-health expert sheds light on "gaslighting" - the manipulative technique used by sociopaths, narcissists, and others - offering practical strategies to cope and break free.
He's the charmer - the witty, confident, but overly controlling date. She's the woman on your team who always manages to take credit for your good work. He's the neighbor who swears you've been putting your garbage into his trash cans, the politician who can never admit to a mistake. Gaslighters are master controllers and manipulators, often challenging your very sense of reality. Whether it's a spouse, parent, coworker, or friend, gaslighters distort the truth - by lying, withholding, triangulation, and more - making their victims question their own reality and sanity. Dr. Stephanie Sarkis delves into this hidden manipulation technique, covering gaslighting in every life scenario, sharing:
- Why gaslighters seem so "normal" at first
- Warning signs and examples
- Gaslighter "red flags" on a first date
- Practical strategies for coping
- How to co-parent with a gaslighter
- How to protect yourself from a gaslighter at work
- How to walk away and rebuild your life
With clear-eyed wisdom and empathy, Dr. Sarkis not only helps you determine if you are being victimized by a gaslighter - she gives you the tools to break free and heal.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Also known as ADHD) presents itself in three main symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity or impulsivity. Hyperactivity and impulsivity are closely related and oftentimes coexist with inattention. Women and girls with ADHD most often go undiagnosed for several reasons. This is due in part because women tend do have less obvious or less misbehaved characteristics than men do.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.

The truth is that narcissists (all of us) fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self.

Story
In Rethinking Narcissism listeners will learn that there's far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that narcissists (all of us) fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self.

The memoir of a neuroscientist whose research led him to a bizarre personal discovery, James Fallon had spent an entire career studying how our brains affect our behavior when his research suddenly turned personal. While studying brain scans of several family members, he discovered that one perfectly matched a pattern he’d found in the brains of serial killers. This meant one of two things: Either his family’s scans had been mixed up with those of felons or someone in his family was a psychopath.

Story
Traveling across millennia, weaving the experiences and world views of cultures both extinct and extant, The Invention of Yesterday shows that the engine of history is not so much heroic (battles won), geographic (farmers thrive), or anthropogenic (humans change the planet) as it is narrative. Many thousands of years ago, when we existed only as countless small autonomous bands of hunter-gatherers widely distributed through the wilderness, we began inventing stories - to organize for survival, to find purpose and meaning, to explain the unfathomable.

This book is life changing (rare for me to say)
I didn’t know what gaslighting is and was recommended this book by my marriage counselor. This book is eye opening to every day life with other people and I have confidence I will be a better spouse and person with the knowledge in this book alone. I am very thankful for this book.

I can not stress how much this has helped me
I have been in the what I thought at the time was the worst feeling ever when I first realized I had overlooked how the father of my kids was capable of going bend my back and turning my family against me or made them the the other way when I would need them the most. My mom thought I was on drugs because he was calling her and telling her I have been going out every night and he doesn’t know where I am (but I never go anywhere and when I had ran into a old friend we would hang out but I would go to my only friends to do out laundry but did not like it )
So when I had an assumption that something was off I began to call and worn my mom that he might call her and tell her lies because ro was planning to leave him little did I know he had already got to her and my aunt told them he’s worried about and scared to leave me alone with our kids. Smh my mom had just found out that she had Leukemia and was going through chemo at the time so I was doing everything in my power not to drag her into this stress her out knowing it and we didn’t have anybody else but so I broke down and called her she started telling me I was delusional I need to get help go to rehab and then I’m not thinking straight. Smh I could not believe this and felt defeated because he had been doing this for a while now and I never thought this to happen I felt I was in a movie when the plot switches and you weren’t expecting it and then the rest of the movie began time fall into place and it just gets more shocking Th we more you think back how it was happening when did they do this. He even ha sky sister turn against me. I had planned to go to a shelter and leave him the apartment with last month rent paid. I made the mistake of trying to be civil for out kids sake and he already turned my family against me no one was answering my calls. There was a coworker that even gave me the idea to go to the shelter and she was coming to pick me up and take me when he stopped her in the when she pulled up yelled and cussed her out telling her she’s helping me take the kids from me and he got a restraining order on me didn’t know this until he was beginning to scare me and the kids and was being unpredictable telling me I’m never going to see my kids again and he’s going to get custody i called the cops to help me remove him for the apartment as he was begging to show anger and I didn’t know what else to do. The cops case and served me with a restraining order he went and placed on me earlier that day an the cops said I need to stay to myself and not threaten him or they’ll come back to arrest me. I was still getting what felt like at the time punched in the stomach by his continuous betrayal. I could not let him have the chance to lie and say I was threatening him it didn’t have to be true he wanted to control me with it and thought he could. I went and got a Uber with my kids and got a restraining order on him the same commissioner was there that approved his order but she said he was acting weird and that she was not sure about his story and when she read my statement she felt bad and apologized to me she felt manipulated by him because he seems to be so upset and its not a good feeling when you realize someone had just played with your kindness and you fell violated by them it’s not her fault he did it to me but we went to court and he had letters from my aunt and sister saying I have been an using drugs and I’m unstable that he’s just trying to help me and I keep refusing his help. I’m crazy. The judge did not fall for his actions and rules in my favor he was not expecting that at all he went in court with the intent of getting my kids taken and told my family I was going to have my kids taken from by the judge and they were so confused when that wasn’t not what happened. My mom and ain’t lives in Texas far from where I live. They didn’t know what and resulted in cutting off communication with both of us because it became too much for them didn’t knew what was true or false. He does that well. I don’t believe in going to anyone and bad mouth him or dragging others into our problems but that gave him a wide window to manipulate my family and friends to not even answer or help me anymore and came to the apartment crying an saying he is done hurting each other that he wants to be with his family he loves me but I was in the very bad place and I felt like everyone had turned on me I felt betrayed by my family and he was once again back on my life knowing I now have no one left I j ugh st left my job because I was planning to be at the shelter not knowing anything about them or how they work. I had our 3 kids I hadn’t been on my own sense I was 19 and pregnant with our first son. And had no one in my life but him and he is a good dad just not a good person I made the worst mistake of my life and fell victim to him once again!
No one was giving me any advice. He called cps on me and she came when to question the kids and i. My daughter had said she was scared of him sometimes because he would yell a lot and she would hear him call me names. I did not know she was coming and I was in her site the whole time never bad mouthed him in front of her to have her say that. But we went to the shelter and some one called them with a new case against me saying I’m drugs and i took test for her she made a point to let me know she spoke their father and she said he sounded very concerned for my health he just wants me to get help and she felt the need to tell me she truly believes he loves and cares for me ( I was clean of drugs ). I wasn’t surprised by this and I felt gained up in by him using his ability to cry because he knows how he is wrong and he just truly was hurt he didn’t win the order in court so yes I’m sure even after everything u asked me abc my daughter. I confided in her to help when she was the only person that might be able help me to leave him with resources very much needed help to complete me leaving him for good and she took his side just like everyone else. I was scared and hurt but i had my kids with me and I could not let them know I was I. The verge of a break down and or so close to giving up that it scared me to think about how much I have lost and how my family chose to believe him over me never not nice did any of them call me to confirm his allocations against me they new where I was and that the thing she had stressed weren’t adding Up because it was all a tactic and he played them like pawn pieces in the game of chess then left the
Behind and was not Calling lien he did had Ben before. I’m very happy I had listened to this and to heard that i am not wrong about my actions and My feelings were not crazy but the author actually put this into words I would not have been able to and thought it was impossible. Thank
you so much for this I have not been able to speak about this or get over the trauma that had accrued then. You have changed my way of thinking. I’m always be great full for this but I have a slightly different kind I think I am may be dealing with a new hybrid species that people are not familiar with and that is not something that can be identified as only one of the mental health issues but all of them at once
