  • Gaslighting and Brain Health: Recognizing Manipulation and Protecting Your Mind with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, Ph.D.

    Gaslighting and Brain Health: Recognizing Manipulation and Protecting Your Mind with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, Ph.D.
    2026/03/18
    Gaslighting does not only affect your emotions. It affects your brain.In this episode, Dr. Krystal Culler and Heather Elwell sit down with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, author of The Gaslit Brain, to examine what happens in the brain when someone experiences chronic gaslighting, bullying, and psychological harm.*Please note that this conversation was recorded live during a live Neuro Nook book club discussion and featured as part of the Virtual Brain Health Center’s annual Brain Week series.*This conversation connects neuroscience, workplace culture, and lived experience. You will learn how gaslighting disrupts memory, increases stress responses, and impacts cognitive performance. More importantly, you will learn what you can do to protect your brain.This discussion also explores institutional gaslighting, why even high-performing professionals are vulnerable, and how understanding the science can reduce self-blame and increase clarity.If you have ever questioned your memory, your judgment, or your sense of reality after a difficult workplace or personal experience, this episode provides language, science, and practical strategies.What You Will Learn in This EpisodeThe difference between normal conflict and gaslightingWhy gaslighting is designed to create confusionWhat chronic psychological stress does to the brainHow the amygdala and hippocampus respond to prolonged stressWhy highly capable professionals are often targetsHow workplace cultures can enable manipulationWhy language matters in recognizing psychological harmBrain-based strategies to strengthen cognitive resilienceKey TakeawaysGaslighting follows patterns. Learning those patterns helps you see clearly.Your brain is wired for trust. That makes manipulation difficult to recognize.Psychological harm can produce real neurological effects including: stress overload, memory disruption, and cognitive fatigue.Recovery is possible. Neuroplasticity means the brain can repair and adapt.Awareness is protection. Naming the behavior reduces its power.Practical Brain Health Strategies DiscussedStrengthen awareness of your environment and patterns of behaviorBuild a more precise emotional vocabulary to better interpret stress signalsPrioritize psychological safety and supportive relationshipsSlow down decisions when something feels offQuestion assumptions and look for evidence before accepting claimsStay socially connected during recovery rather than withdrawingLearn More About Dr. Jennifer FraserWebsite: BulliedBrain.comPsychology Today column: The Bullied BrainPodcast: The FEMCAST Listen to host, Dr. Krystal Culler’s conversation with Dr. Jennifer Fraser on her podcast, The FEMCAST titled, “How 'Psychopath Puppet Masters' Destroy Careers (and How to Escape)” on iTunes, Spotify, or Substack or watch on YouTubeRelated Resources MentionedLearn more about BrainHQ brain training platform from our previous podcast conversation with their lead scientist Dr. Henry Mahncke, Ph.D. “What the Latest Brain Training Science Means For Your Brain Health” Previous podcast conversations with Dr. Jennifer FraserListen now: Exposing Gaslighting: What it Does to the Brain and How to HealListen now: Understanding the Neuroscience of Bullying & Its Impact on the BrainExplore the written summary of Neuro Nook Book Club discussion on the gaslit brainKey Message From This EpisodeGaslighting loses power when it is recognized and named.
