COURSE
Gaslighting 101: How To Break Free And Trust Yourself Again
With Anna Thellmann
In this three-part audio course, you'll learn how to identify gaslighting, understand why it happens, and develop practical strategies to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Here’s what you can expect: Clarity: Understand what gaslighting really is (and what it isn’t), including how it differs from normal relationship conflict. Awareness: Recognise the most common gaslighting phrases and the hidden fears that drive them, so you can stop falling into the trap—or stop using them yourself. Empowerment: Learn how gaslighting quietly impacts every area of your life, from your self-confidence to your health, career, and relationships. Action: Get practical, step-by-step tools to rebuild self-trust, set boundaries, and regain control over your reality, using my G.A.P. method (Gratitude, Acceptance, Perspective). Reflection: If you realise you may have been gaslighting others, you’ll receive compassionate guidance on how to unlearn these behaviours and reconnect with yourself and others in healthier ways. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to spot gaslighting when it’s happening, break free from its effects, and create stronger, more authentic relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself.

Fantastic course for me to better understand myself, my future needs, as I walk towards healing and freedom from things I let control, gave my power, energy to, that deeply hurt me and destroyed who I was or am! I never knew what GasLighting meant! Ty..,

Thank you. I did this course because I was thinking that perhaps I am the gaslighter. I need to work on untangling my experience because I think I've been living with being gaslit for so long I am questioning if it is me! Over time I have become isolated and have a belief that that is my fault. I don’t do any of the hobbies I used to enjoy. I am always confused by how I feel, my partner presents as reasonable and I am the one who needs fixing so everything will be OK. We don't argue, I am just met with 'I'm sorry you feel that way, perhaps you can find a way of working it out and I will support you in that'. So it looks loving but leaves me always feeling broken and mad because they then don't support me. Recently I feel exhausted and I don’t know what I want. I can't get a grip on any goals or dreams. I don’t want to upend my life but I do want to find peace. I really want to believe there's a way to get our relationship onto a more mutually rewarding footing where we both feel whole and content. But I guess that's not going to happen if my partner continues to think he doesn't need to do anything and I continue to believe it is me who needs fixing.

I was purposely gaslight for decades so without knowing how to deal with it or change it I left that relationship losing everything that went along with it including my children. All I can do now is know it was not my fault and find healing in that knowledge of innocence. Trusting intuition and gut feelings is very difficult for me because things have gone soo badly wrong in the past that I can’t really see or tell if what I want is valid. I open my heart now that I am free and own my my emotional responses and let go of others projections staying true to my authenticity . I have started to set boundaries and find solice, peace and grace in the way I approach relationships. Especially the relationships I have with myself as I release the love I possess toward myself and relearn how to trust myself. THANK YOU.

So helpful! I had heard the phrase before, but didn't know much about it. Now I see that my Mother has been doing this to me my whole life. And now I have a name for it! That in and of itself is liberating! Thank you!
