Today we talk with Christy Yerk-Smith, LPC, and we are working through a topic that may be triggering for some: Gaslighting. The episode begins with the signs and symptoms of gaslighting, including those that are considered abusive. Christy explains what gaslighting might look and sound like in session and what the role of the therapist is in these sessions. Christy discusses identifying goals in the intake session, and which ones need further exploration to assess for gaslighting or abuse. She also shares the techniques she uses to address abuse or manipulation with clients and other types of relationships where clients may encounter gaslighting. The episode wraps up with the clinical interventions Christy uses as well as community resources we may need for clients.Connect with the Beachfront Therapist: Get all of our latest news, be the first to know about new episodes and events, and stay connected through Instagram and Facebook.
