Esther Perel Instagram – “Am I being gaslit or am I overly sensitive?” In my new episode of Where Should We Begin?, I speak to a woman who called me for a reality check. The content of her examples told me her side of the story: he hounded her when she was sick. He picked fights right before seeing friends (and then welcomed said friends as if nothing was wrong). He berated her constantly about how mean she was, all whilst yelling at her. Her tone, unsure and exhausted, told me more. She has struggled with boundary setting before and wonders if she is repeating the pattern here. We hear the term “gaslighting” all the time now, often applied to a whole range of behaviors, some of which apply and some of which do not. While I couldn’t answer her question, the question itself revealed so much. To hear her story unfold, listen to “Esther Calling – Am I Being Gaslit?” on Apple Podcasts or your preferred podcast platform through the link in my bio.
