On ‘What’s Trending,’ hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Jude Black discuss on parental gaslighting – when parents manipulate their child’s sense of reality
What is Parental Gaslighting?
Parents invalidate their child’s experiences, making them doubt their own reality and become easier to control.
Long-Term Impact on Children
Parental gaslighting can lead to low self-esteem, lack of trust in their own judgment, and a tendency to either become overly insecure or replicate manipulative behaviors.
Finding Hope and Healing
Breaking the cycle of damage from parental gaslighting is possible by rebuilding your sense of self and seeking support.
