14. Healing from Gaslighting - Helping Your Child Feel Safe by Trusting Yourself First

After gaslighting, rebuilding your intuition and body signals is the foundation for helping your child feel emotionally safe.

In this episode, we talk about what gaslighting is, how to heal from gaslighting, staying honest with your overwhelm, and modeling emotional safety for sensitive or neurodivergent kids. Faustina shares relatable, personal stories and real-life examples of learning to feel the emotions again, and humbly using those to model emotional intelligence to a sensitive child.
