Gaslight, narcissist, anti-social, toxic, triggering.... these are just a few of the psychology related terms that you just might be using incorrectly! Shayna and Kathy actually watched the 1944 movie, Gaslight, so we could talk about the genesis of the term that is overused and misused today. Gaslighting is a real and insidious thing... but it's not just when people lie to you or have a different perception. We also go into other terms and phrases that are misused. This is part one of this topic.
