Podcasts about Gaslighting

Law enforcement Explorer programs were created to mentor teens interested in policing. But decades of weak oversight created an environment where officers could manipulate that trust. Some exploited their roles, using their authority to groom, abuse, and silence the very teens they were entrusted to guide.Resources:RAINN – Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network: 24/7 hotline and resources for survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

Kim is back with life lessons, complaints, and a few unspoken rules we need to settle.In this episode, she reflects on a year in survival mode, realignment, and how a “no” from corporate life turned into a yes from Forbes 30 under 30. She breaks down why women feel behind — not because we are, but because we've stopped trusting our timeline and started negotiating with our intuition — and how hustle without direction leads straight to burnout. Kim unpacks what this year taught her about work, singlehood, and self-discipline: why output is not the same thing as impact, why alignment beats urgency, and why you need to surround yourself with doers, not thinkers.Kim's biggest takeaway? Clarity comes faster when you stop gaslighting yourself.✨ You're Gonna Want to Subscribe to This:Drop us a 5-STAR review (with a compliment — we read them all)Follow us (@richlittlebrokegrls) on Instagram for daily clips & chaos → [instagram.com/richlittlebrokegrls]Join the RLBG Community for exclusive events & LIVE girl talks → [richlittlebrokegirls.com/join] Stalk Kim on TikTok & Instagram (@kimberlybizu) for more unfiltered hot takes → [instagram.com/kimberlybizu & tiktok.com/@kimberlybizu]Shop Kim's favorites on ShopMy → [https://shopmy.us/kimberlybizu]

In this episode of Sharing Without Shame, Donna Marston welcomes Darlene Lancer, licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and internationally recognized expert on codependency, shame, and emotional healing.With over 30 years of clinical experience, Darlene shares how shame often sits at the core of addiction, codependency, anxiety, depression, and unhealthy family dynamics—and why healing symptoms alone isn't enough.Together, Donna and Darlene explore how childhood experiences shape adult relationships, how families unintentionally pass down shame, and why setting boundaries is essential for both recovery and peace.In this episode, we discuss:- The difference between shame and guilt and why it matters- How childhood emotional suppression fuels codependency- Why addiction is often a form of self-soothing, not rebellion- The connection between shame, anxiety, and perfectionism- How families absorb and carry shame around addiction- Why enabling feels like love but often causes harm- Detachment, boundaries, and letting others experience consequences- Gaslighting, loss of self-trust, and emotional survival in addiction- Why healing must address the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical selfDarlene also shares practical insights on recognizing inner criticism, rebuilding self-esteem, and beginning the process of releasing long-held shame.About the Guest:Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT is the author of Codependency For Dummies, Conquering Shame and Codependency, Dating, Loving, and Leaving a Narcissist, and several workbooks and healing resources.

Former President Donald Trump used a nationally televised address to blame Democrats and the Biden administration for inflation, border security and economic struggles, while claiming historic successes under his leadership. But key economic indicators and ongoing challenges for working-class families, particularly in Black and brown communities, raise serious questions about the accuracy of those claims.

One of the most powerful weapons in difficult conversations isn't yelling, insults, or aggression — it's confusion. In this episode, I break down how confusion gets weaponized to avoid accountability, derail clarity, and exhaust you into giving up. You'll learn how to spot when confusion is genuine versus strategic, and exactly what to say to regain control, slow the conversation down, and protect your clarity without escalating the conflict.

High-control religious groups exploit gendered social programming, effectively priming women for coercive control via enforced submission, isolation, and lack of agency. This critical discussion draws sick parallels between traditional feminine roles and cult dynamics, noting how manufactured obedience prevents critical thinking and makes escaping high-control environments virtually impossible. We expose the insidious tactics like "love bombing" and false empowerment that strip genuine agency and trap people in cycles of destructive dogma.News Source:

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

Many anxious and secure attached persons have dated avoidant attached persons who seemed really ready for a long term committed relationships until.... things got heavy. Many were left confused at their behaviours as some avoidant back-peddled, withdrew, seem to gaslight or altogether ghosted. In this episode, one of my guests shares her distress in trying to navigate her relationships as she tries to learn about her ex's behaviours, and her own. Give this a listen if you want to feel seen and validated while gaining some insights into the mind (and actions) of an avoidant attached person. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

In my experience, the transformation you crave will initially make you feel like running. The Reiki and Spiritual industry often sells you permission to stay small. Meaning, you might feel like you've been going round in circles, trying super hard, but not feeling the way you want to in Reiki practise, in life. What You'll Discover By The End Of Listening To This Episode:-What "shocking authenticity" means for your growth - The uncomfortable truth about what true transformation requires, and how to recognize when a mentor is actually serving your growth versus selling you comfort.-The spiritual gaslighting you're probably doing to yourself right now - How the wellness industry conditions you to blame your own receptivity instead of questioning whether the teacher is actually delivering - and what to do about it.-What happens when you finally stop looking for the easy way - The exact moment transformation becomes possible - and why discomfort is the signal you're actually moving, not the sign you're doing it wrong.-The real difference between gentle compassion and spiritual bypassing - How to tell the difference between a mentor who's protecting you from hard work and one who's holding you accountable to the person you actually want to become.Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free on demand workshop, Lifting the Veil on Reiki: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free online community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/You'll find me most on TT @reikiredefined & IG.

This episode explores what happens when the holidays don't feel magical—when they instead trigger memories of tension, performance, and survival. I reflect on how November and December can awaken body memories of chaos, control, and grief, even years after leaving an abusive relationship.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Everyone is afraid of rejection. Attraction equals attention. Do they pay attention to you? That's a big sign to begin the process of gauging interest in friendship. "Gaslighting" has gotten a bad reputation, but in the context of finding out if they like you back, it's a safer way to speed things up. If you get ghosted, then that's your sign it's a no-go, but it also ends the longing for something that may never happen. It shortens the game and gets you onto the next crush. This week, I talk about expressing interest without losing your mind. This is our final segment of Tarot for Singles. We'll end with sexy messages from your future soulmate. (00:50:15) I'll be back with fresh tarot for New Year's! ⚠️ These are performances and for entertainment purposes only.

Machtmissbrauch erkennen: Wo Macht zu Zwang wirdWas ist Machtmissbrauch wirklich?In dieser Folge des Female Leadership Podcasts spricht Vera Strauch mit Autorin Lena Marbacher darüber, wann Macht in Zwang kippt, warum Mobbing immer Gewalt ist, und weshalb Machtmissbrauch oft viel subtiler beginnt, als wir denken.Was ist Machtmissbrauch? Machtmissbrauch beginnt dort, wo Zwang entsteht – nicht nur körperlich, sondern psychisch (Mobbing, Gaslighting). Er ist selten ein spontaner Knall, sondern ein subtiler Prozess der Isolation, Destabilisierung und Delegitimierung des Opfers. Machtmissbrauch passiert nicht nur in extremen Fällen, die Schlagzeilen machen. Er beginnt oft viel früher, viel leiser – und genau deshalb bleibt er so häufig unsichtbar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wann Macht in Zwang umschlägt, warum Mobbing psychische Gewalt ist, und weshalb viele Übergriffe unterhalb der Strafbarkeitsgrenze stattfinden – aber trotzdem krank machen. Gerade Mobbing verläuft selten offen. Es beginnt subtil: mit Kritik, Ausgrenzung, Abwertung, Bloßstellung oder dem systematischen Entzug von Arbeit und Anerkennung. Oft merken Betroffene erst spät – manchmal erst durch andere –, dass das, was sie erleben, kein normaler Konflikt, sondern Mobbing ist.Lena Marbacher bringt eine klare Arbeitsdefinition mit:Machtmissbrauch beginnt dort, wo Macht zu Zwang wird – und Zwang zu Gewalt.Du erfährst:Wie Machtmissbrauch entstehtWarum auch Kundinnen & Kolleginnen Macht missbrauchenWoran du subtile Grenzverletzungen erkennstWelche Verantwortung Organisationen habenWas dir hilft, wenn du betroffen bist oder zusiehstEine wichtige Folge über Macht, Verantwortung, Führung und Schutz – für alle, die Arbeit menschlicher gestalten wollen.+++Alle Links und Details der Episode findest du hier.Du willst noch mehr?

In this episode, I talk about one of the most confusing and insidious forms of manipulation survivors face in high-conflict relationships and co-parenting: Double Speak.It's that moment when control hides behind concern — when an email, message, or conversation sounds calm and reasonable to everyone else, but your body knows something is off. It's when someone says, “I just want what's best for our child,” while taking positions that go directly against your child's needs or the agreements already in place.I break down how Double Speak operates as a tactic of coercive control — how it creates contradiction, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion — and how to start spotting it before you're pulled into another circular argument. I share real-world examples from co-parenting cases, explain how this pattern shows up in court, and offer practical strategies for documenting, responding, and staying grounded when someone twists words to maintain power.If you've ever felt like you were being gaslit by “reasonable” communication, this episode will help you name the manipulation — and reclaim your clarity.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

O vztahu mozku a srdce, o entropii v sociálním prostoru a o tom, že:„Potřeba uzavřít příběh je někdy silnější než touha najít pravdu.“

James Comer whining that nobody will believe his upcoming Epstein report is the most unintentionally honest thing he's ever said. Public trust in Congress has evaporated after years of empty investigations, hollow promises, and political theater that never produces consequences. Comer acts shocked that people won't blindly accept whatever narrative he puts out, comparing the response to the Warren Commission like that's some badge of honor instead of a historic failure. He's mad not because people are irrational, but because the old playbook—grandstanding, dramatic press conferences, and meaningless “bombshells”—doesn't work anymore. The American public isn't buying “trust me bro” politics, and they're not applauding another expensive report destined to collect dust while the powerful walk free.Comer's outrage is nothing more than a tantrum from a politician terrified of losing control of the narrative. Instead of delivering real accountability, Congress consistently delivers nothing but smoke and excuses, and then blames the public for refusing to cheer. The reason nobody trusts Comer or his colleagues isn't conspiracy—it's track record. We've watched them talk a tough game, promise justice, and produce absolutely nothing, from Russiagate to every other so-called investigation that fizzled into nothing. The era of blind obedience is dead. If Comer wants belief, he needs results—not another worthless performance. Until that day, the disbelief he's crying about is just the country telling him the truth: he earned it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Nobody will ever believe it': James Comer airs doubts about his own Epstein investigation - POLITICO

This episode (#308) focuses on a partner whose body has completely shut down sexually after decades of betrayal, manipulation, and sexual violation—including being touched while unconscious. We explain how her body has not suddenly changed since disclosure; it has been adapting for years to a marriage that was unsafe long before she understood why. This long-term exposure to deception and boundary-breaking creates what we call “complex trauma shaping,” where the nervous system rewires itself to avoid sexual intimacy because it associates vulnerability with danger.We also dive deeply into the concept of Integrity Abuse Disorder and how the husband's years of secrecy, gaslighting, and emotional inconsistency created an “intentionally manipulated reality” for his wife. Even though he may now be in recovery, his emotional reactions—his “sad tantrums”—trigger her old trauma and reinforce the message that he values sexual access more than her emotional safety. This dynamic retraumatizes her and deepens her shutdown, proving to her body that intimacy remains unsafe.Healing requires him to take responsibility for the full impact of his actions by engaging in what Dr. Minwalla calls “mountain work”—seeing the complete devastation the betrayal caused. Only then can he show up with true empathy, accountability, and emotional regulation. For her, healing means continuing to listen to her body, honoring its wisdom, and working with professionals to slowly rebuild safety. When both partners engage in this work, intimacy can eventually be rebuilt—not through pressure or obligation, but through genuine safety, trust, and connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Why My Body Shuts Down:  Understanding Sexual Trauma Responses After Years of BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In this powerful episode of Scam Rangers, Ayelet Biger-Levin sits down with scam psychology expert Martina Dove to dive deep into the psychology of scams. Martina shares her insights on the psychological tactics used by scammers and the most effective methods for prevention and intervention.The conversation dives deep into the origins of Martina's research, which began with her interest in the Barnum effect , a phenomenon where people accept vague feedback as true when it applies to everyone. Barnum, an 1800s magician, even wrote a book on scams that are still in operation today, like romance scams and lotteries. Martina emphasizes that scams are now a "product that caters for everyone", as vulnerability depends on individual circumstances and personality, not IQ.Key Takeaways: The Scam Lifecycle and Psychology The Scammer's Hook: Scams, which now feature excellent grammar due to AI, prey on either opportunity (like job or romance scams) or fear (like sextortion). Once a victim responds to the initial communication, it's difficult to stop engaging. Grooming: A "Wear-Down" Process: Scams that go on for a long time—like pig butchering—evoke multiple visceral influences, starting with excitement and then inducing anxiety and fear of loss. The scammer will subtly withdraw or use verbal abuse if the victim does not comply. This wear-down period, which can last months, can cause victims to lose executive functions, affecting their memory and decision-making. Targeting Trust: Scammers groom victims to distrust their bank by teaching them that the bank will try to stop them, or by creating elaborate stories, such as a regulator investigating internal fraud. By the time the bank intervenes, the victim is a "worn out person" who truly believes the scammer's narrative. Effective Intervention: Empathy is Key: Authoritarian warnings, like "Don't panic" or "Never click links," are proven not to work, as they trigger a physiological reaction and make people switch off. Instead, interventions—especially from "Break the Spell" teams—need to be conversational and empathetic. Martina suggests asking the victim to simply "stall" the transfer, which often causes the scammer to escalate pressure, providing a warning sign to the victim.You can find more about Martina on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martina-dove/A link to her book: https://www.routledge.com/The-Psychology-of-Fraud-Persuasion-and-Scam-Techniques-Understanding-What-Makes-Us-Vulnerable/Dove/p/book/9781032953908This podcast is hosted by Ayelet Biger-Levin, who has spent the last 15 years building technology to help financial institutions authenticate their customers and identify fraud. She believes that when it comes to scams, the story starts well before the transaction. Ayelet created this podcast to talk about the human side of scams and to learn from those dedicated to advocating for scam victims and taking action against fraud.
