  • Extremely helpful and validating

    I am a bit surprised at how helpful Dr. Stern’s podcast has been, making me feel ‘less crazy’, and less like I am the ‘bad and wrong’ member of the family. Episodes 7 and 15 in particular have had guests who have so bravely articulated their experience of being invalidated by their family, but have mirrored some of my own past experiences so similarly that I feel seen but also hopeful that ‘it’s not just me’. Thank you Dr. Stern for hosting this podcast.

    Dr. Stern is compassionate and determined to clear the air in terms of what gaslighting (luz de gas) is, different contexts in which it occurs and how awareness can help us find a way out of inappropriate or harmful situations and relationships. Fully recommend!

    Wow!!!!! This podcast is so enlightening. It really high

    Ights the subtleties of how gaslighting starts and how so many of us live under another person’s control without realising it. Even believing that this behaviour is normal and acceptable.
