In this episode of "Ours, Not Yours" podcast, we delve into the phenomenon of gaslighting and its impact on society. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where one person seeks to undermine another's sense of reality, making them doubt their own perceptions and experiences. Gaslighting is not a new concept, but it has gained considerable attention in recent years, particularly in the context of relationships and interpersonal dynamics. However, this episode aims to shed light on the gaslighting wave that has swept through various aspects of our society, including politics, media, and social movements. We explore the ways in which gaslighting techniques have been employed by those in positions of power to manipulate public opinion and suppress dissent. From politicians using false narratives to sway public opinion or discredit opponents, to media outlets spreading misinformation and eroding trust, gaslighting has become a pervasive tool in the pursuit of control and dominance. Through interviews with experts in psychology and sociology, we examine the psychological mechanisms behind gaslighting and its long-term effects on individuals and society as a whole. We discuss the ways in which gaslighting tactics can be recognized and resisted, encouraging listeners to trust their own instincts and question dominant narratives. Furthermore, we analyze case studies of gaslighting in different contexts, such as the erasure of marginalized voices in social justice movements or the manipulation of historical narratives to maintain power structures. By highlighting these examples, we hope to empower listeners to identify and challenge gaslighting attempts in their own lives and communities. Lastly, we engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the role of empathy and critical thinking in countering gaslighting. We explore strategies for fostering a more empathetic and informed society, where gaslighting tactics are less likely to take hold. Join us in this episode of "Ours, Not Yours" podcast as we navigate the complex world of gaslighting and work towards reclaiming our collective reality. Together, let's expose the manipulation, amplify marginalized voices, and build a society rooted in truth, empathy, and justice.Gaslighting is not a new concept, but it has gained considerable attention in recent years, particularly in the context of relationships and interpersonal dynamics.
