Gaslighting

Spot the Early Warning Signs of Manipulation, Heal from Narcissistic Abuse, and Recover from Unhealthy Relationships

De: Sally Daves

Narrado por: Lillian Keller, Helen Lawson

You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’ve just been made to question what’s real.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation more confused than when you started…If you’ve apologized for things you didn’t do, or questioned memories you know are true…If you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or “hard to love”…Then this book is for you.

Gaslighting is a survival manual for anyone who’s lived through manipulation that doesn’t leave bruises but leaves you doubting your mind. Without fluff, without theory, without empty motivation, this book offers sharp clarity and real tools to help you:

Recognize the early signs of gaslighting – and stop normalizing them

Understand how manipulation hides behind “jokes,” “concern,” and “love”

Rebuild trust in your own thoughts, feelings, and instincts

Set boundaries that hold, even when they’re tested

Break the cycle of self-blame, second-guessing, and emotional paralysis

You don’t need to listen to this book beginning to end. Start where it hurts. Stop where it helps. Come back when it’s time.

This isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about seeing clearly, standing firm, and remembering what was never lost: your right to believe yourself.

helped me talk to my sister

My younger sister was in a relationship I was worried about, but I didn’t have the words or knowledge to bring it up without sounding judgmental. After listening to this, I shared parts of it with her. It opened a door.

changed the way I see some people in my life

I bought this after leaving a pretty toxic relationship, but what I didn’t expect was how much it would make me reflect on other people too—like a certain friend I always leave conversations with feeling confused or small. It’s unsettling at first to admit someone might be manipulating you, even if it’s subtle. But this book gave me permission to trust my gut and set better boundaries. I’m still processing it all, but it definitely shifted something for me.

a friend sent this to me

A close friend sent me this after a rough breakup. I didn’t expect much but found myself nodding the whole way through. It's been a big help in sorting through the emotional mess I didn’t know how to process.

I didn't think it applied to me

Honestly, I started listening just out of curiosity. I thought gaslighting was only something that happened in extreme situations. But the more I listened, the more I saw myself in it. Quiet manipulation can be just as harmful.

wish I had this sooner

This would've saved me years of confusion. The examples felt uncomfortably familiar, but in a good way—like validation. It helped me understand I wasn’t imagining things and gave me tools to start healing.

This book helped me a lot

For years, I’ve tried to explain what it felt like to be in that relationship. I’d say things like “I always felt like I was the crazy one,” or “he’d twist everything I said.” But people didn’t really get it. This book helped me realize I wasn’t imagining things, and it gave me actual words to describe what was happening. That alone has been huge. I’m starting to tell my story in a way that feels clear instead of confused—and that’s healing in itself.

if you're questioning your memory, listen to this

I started doubting my own version of events. I thought I was losing it. This audiobook reminded me that confusion is often a sign something’s off. I feel like I can trust myself again.

clear, straightforward, and gentle

What I appreciated most was the tone—not overly dramatic, not clinical, just... steady. It felt like someone calmly explaining things I’ve always struggled to put into words. Definitely worth a second listen.

solid support when you feel alone

I didn’t talk to anyone about what I went through for a long time. I felt embarrassed, like I should’ve known better. But hearing the examples and explanations in this book made me feel less isolated. Like, oh… I’m not the only one who went through this. It’s not a magic fix, obviously, but it’s a steady, honest companion if you’re trying to sort through all the mental noise gaslighting leaves behind. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone in that weird in-between space of “was it really that bad?”

finally felt seen

I didn’t even realize what I was going through had a name until I started listening to this. The way things were explained—like how you start doubting your own memory or second-guessing your feelings—hit me so hard. I kept pausing and replaying. It helped me feel less crazy.
