Welcome back to the Unlearn Something podcast!
We are Miss S and Miss D and the simple premise of our podcast is to share conversations in our classroom, hoping to spark conversations in yours.
Today, we are talking about gaslighting: what it is, how it works and why it is so flipping exhausting. This episode is an extension of a conversation that Miss D after school one day. We were reflecting on some of the situations we were dealing with that week and we noticed a theme - denial and gaslighting.... from the students.
It is happening more and more in schools, online and elsewhere and we need to talk about it. In this episode, we share some of our personal experiences with gaslighting behaviours and share some suggestions of structured responses that you can use if you find yourself in a difficult conversation where there is gaslighting.
It's not an easy conversation to have but it is necessary - YOU ARE NOT LOSING IT! YOU ARE NOT IMAGINING IT! It's gaslighting and we need to equip ourselves to shut it down.
If you have any comments or feedback to give us please email us on unlearnsomethingpod@gmail.com, and we will get back to you and (with your permission) read out your email on the show.
