We have gotten a lot of questions about gaslighting and narcissism, and today Dr. Kim is answering. This topic is layered and one podcast episode cannot take the place of more in-depth interventions, but we can offer helpful and hopeful next steps. In today’s episode we’re covering how to know what constitutes abuse versus the sin nature we all struggle with. Listen for 

 

We pray this episode is helpful for you and your marriage. 

 

Episode highlights include:  

  • Marriage counseling doesn’t work with abusers – So what does?

  • Can a marriage recover after long-term gaslighting? 

  • How to diagnose abuse using the power and control wheel

  • Does the “gray rock” strategy work in marriage?  

  • Reasons why emotional abuse is often dismissed

QUOTES

  • “You deserve to be safe.”  - Dr. Kim Kimberling 

  • “If you look at the message of the BIble, you can’t defend any type of abuse, for any person, ever.”  - Lindsay Few 

  • “The goal would be repentance and reconciliation.” - Lindsay Few  

  • “The reason a lot of people minimize emotional abuse because they haven’t seen it.”  - Dr. Kim Kimberling 

  • “I’ve seen people who gaslight and don't really understand what they’ve been doing.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling 

  • “Nobody’s uplifted or brought closer to Christ through manipulative behaviors.” - Lindsay Few
