Manufactured Lies: Understaning Gaslighting and Power | | The Personal Lens

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Maybe I imagined it”? That feeling is not confusion or overthinking — it may be gaslighting. In this episode of The Personal Lens, we explain gaslighting as a form of psychological manipulation used to make people doubt their memories, emotions, and sense of reality. Gaslighting is not just lying or disagreement — it is a pattern of control rooted in power imbalance. This episode breaks down: What gaslighting really is (and what it is not) How gaslighting works in relationships, families, and workplaces Why gaslighting is a process, not a single incident Gaslighting and patriarchy: why women are often targeted Gaslighting in Indian homes, offices, and social systems The psychological effects of gaslighting How to recognise gaslighting and begin reclaiming self-trust From personal relationships to political systems, gaslighting shapes who is believed and who is silenced. This episode shows how doubting yourself is often learned, not natural — and why trusting yourself again is a powerful act of resistance. If you’ve ever felt confused, unheard, or made to question your reality — this episode is for you. Do not forget to leave your comments at thepersonallens@gmail.com.
