Episode 108: Gaslighting, Narcissism And Teenagers

When did “gaslighting” become such a big thing? Why does everyone’s ex seem to qualify as “narcissistic?” What does a parent do when you’re pretty sure your teen is being controlled by a boyfriend, girlfriend or just a friend in general? After taking the summer off, we tackle the sudden rise in use of the terms narcissism and gaslighting. We address the definition and origin of these words as well as the potential harm in misusing and over-using diagnostic terms that can be wielded like “clubs” to bash people we don’t like. Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you! [email protected] Join us on Patreon for bonus content and more: https://www.patreon.com/FeedingTheMouthThatBitesYou
