In this two-part series, hosts Joey Barnet, Abi Nicolas and Mike Dougherty dive into a delicate and often misunderstood area: the intersection of everyday memory distortion and gaslighting, and the crucial distinction between intentional manipulation and genuine memory discrepancies. We’ll explore how our memories can be fallible, and how that fallibility can sometimes be mistaken for malicious intent. We’ll also discuss the consequences of authentic cases of gaslighting and touch on a small slice of the scientific literature exploring the relationship between exposure to gaslighting and other real-life outcomes.
