I'm an author with a PhD in CompLit. New book comes out in Nov. The Gaslit Brain: Protect Your Brain from the Lies of Bullying, Gaslighting, & Institutional Complicity. It's the backbone of my Clearsighted Leadership model. I write for Psychology Today.
Interested in #gaslighting & how it is used by those w/ #power to manipulate? Here's my latest substack bulliedbrain.substack.com/p/gaslightin...
We're in a "war on truth" and it's arguably one of the most important wars in history If we don't understand how gaslighting works they can lead us astray

Reason some in positions of #power - aka #leaders - use #bullying w/ its 5 core components Humiliation Fear Favouritism Retaliation, all covered up w/ #gaslighting that tells us the #abuse is for our own good, it's a necessary evil for greatness, is because it scrambles #brains People can't think

I just purchased Dr.Fraser’s book on kobo.
Just a quick browse thru tells me it should be required reading for anyone trying to navigate the world we find ourselves in.
Now I need to find time to read it slowly and to listen to this.⬇️
Learning is fun! Knowledge is power!

Learn how to spot #gaslighting Ensure you don't fall for it as it can scramble educated brains, even experts in psychopathology can be made doubtful by skilled #gaslighters Here's #JenPsaki calling it out @travelingal.bsky.social bulliedbrain.substack.com/p/sounds-lik... #GaslitBrain #mentalhealth
"Sounds like a whole lot of gaslighting"

Learning how abuse cultures work is key to defeating them They're fuelled by damaged brains (visible on brain scans) They use 5 key components 1 humiliation 2 #gaslighting 3 fear 4 favouritism 5 retaliation We require tests of leadership's bodily health, why not their mental #health via #brain scan?
Remember -

It’s a war of power-grab by hybrid war tactics:

• disinformation (lies, false ads)
• gaslighting (“don’t believe what you see and know” tactics)
• bullying, false accusations & investigations
• control & blocking of news-media

Hundreds of millions. Wow, that's a lot. That's more than have died in every single war combined in the entire world since 1900.

We will be better able to shut-down abuse cultures when they are understood and made illegal You can't vandalize a building but you can a democracy w/ impunity bulliedbrain.substack.com/p/press-secr... #law #abuse #gaslighting #truth #lies #warontruth #gaslitbrain @travelingal.bsky.social

I write the bulliedbrain.substack.com and today I wrote about the use of the term "retarded" that is yet another example of #gaslighting from those in #power It's become normalized and it's very dangerous bulliedbrain.substack.com/p/gaslightin...

Healthcare is a sector suffering from bullying and gaslighting. I predict they will be leaders in addressing this crisis infecting far too many workplaces.

In research I draw on for my books The Bullied Brain and The Gaslit Brain bullying is seen as mental illness and a cry for help - not that seeing it that way removes accountability But I believe #brain #science can help us reframe #bullying as a medical not just moral crisis in order to find repair
“Bullying is a behaviour choice – not who someone is.”

Big thanks to Love Island’s Adam Collard for being open about his own experience of being bullied and helping shine a light on this issue. #SayItLoudSaturdays
