This week we are deep diving into this term that is popping up everywhere, Gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that attempts to make individuals question their own reality in order to gain power and control over them. And, the scary thing is- it can happen to anyone. There is good news though and Kat (@kat.defatta) is going solo this week to make sure we all know that there is a way to get out of these kinds of tangled webs. Listen this week to gain a better understanding of what Gaslighting actually is, how to spot it, and what to do when you feel like you are being gas lit. Links for episodes and articles that were talked about:11 Red Flags of Gaslighting in a RelationshipStephanie Sarkis, Ph.D. BookNarcissism EpisodeLove Addiction Episode Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.DefattaFollow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcastHave a question, concern, guest idea, something else?

Kat had a serious question she wanted answers to: Why is money so hard to talk about?? Much like the world of mental health- financial literacy is not regularly found on the to do lists of education systems. Therefore. we tend to find a lot of shame around not knowing bests the practices of financial success. We are here to let you know- it's not your fault that you're confused. So, this week, Kat (@kat.defatta) brought her friend, Nathan Greene, CFP®️, on the show to help us start to figure this all out. Nathan is Certified Financial Planner AND the owner of Cairn Financial Group. Together, Kat and Nathan develop a couple of ideas around why we are so afraid to talk about all things finances. Then, as a fun bonus, Nathan helps make some very confusing things much less confusing. We break down everything from 401ks to if student loans are a bad idea. Ever been in a conversation where someone says the word "mutual fund" and you just nod your head and pretend like you know what they are talking about? Well, after listening to this episode- you won't have to pretend anymore.Follow Cairn Financial on Twitter: @cairnfinancialFind Nathan here: Cairn Financial Group OR here: Cairn Education GroupFollow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.DefattaFollow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcastHave a question, concern, guest idea, something else?

With all the mess that the last couple of years has brought - it only makes sense that we all want to feel better and look toward a brighter side.
