On this episode of Kings of the Heart, Dr. John and Tariiq work to define "gaslighting" and draw differences between when someone is legitimately using the tactic to disrupt your thinking and when someone is simply disagreeing with your perspective.

After I sat for years and years
in my own brain stew,
I could so easily absorb your energy-
forget myself, and hate you

I only care to thank you.

Your tongue-be-damned-smirks
Sinister hush-hush
Your psycho-circus alluring-quirks
Drama pit rush-rush

Carried on and on, truth be told;
You never made a lick of sense
A lost soul who doesn’t dare decide,
fucking ‘em all on the fence

You branded me DEAD and
vultures sure circled in my sky
But the sun burst me into flames
as my nightmare was clarified...

Just another plastic heart, sent
and fresh off the assembly line
Karma may be a bitch but she cheers
for me as we drink elderberry wine

Bored with the shade of boy toys
I now want the tree with deep roots
After you highlighted my wings,
I could take off my heavy boots

I only want to thank you. Cheers.

(Blows kiss)

I accept your Darkness,
darling, and never my defeat
How could I ever hate ‘The One’
who lifted me up off my feet?

Gaslighting: it’s everywhere these days. In the media, on the lips of clients in therapy, in workplace discussions on Slack or near the watercooler. But what does it really mean to be gaslit, and does it mean that the gas lighter is a narcissist? 

Here’s where psychologist Robin Stern can help. Dr. Stern is the co-founder and associate director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. She is a licensed psychoanalyst with 30 years of experience treating individuals, couples and families. She lives in NYC. She is here today to discuss her new book, https://robinstern.com/the-gaslight-effect/. The Gaslight Effect helps readers identify if they are part of a pattern of emotional abuse in any type of relationship, and provides tools to stop the abuse and move on with their life. 

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast, Dr. Stern discusses the concepts in her book, and how to help discern if you are being gaslit, the stages of the Gaslight Effect, and ways to stop being manipulated, and get on with your life.

A weaponized anthem for those betrayed by the systems built to protect them.
Broken By Design isn’t just a song — it’s a verdict.
This is the sound of legal neglect, silent trauma, and the haunting rage of survivors who never stopped fighting.
If they won’t fix the system, we’ll burn the illusion of safety down — word by word.

🕸️ Silk & Circuitry 🧠⚡

Welcome to the tangled thread between trauma and transcendence.
This is where music becomes a mirror—reflecting the fractures, the fight, and the fire.
We don’t just make beats. We build bridges. Between pain and purpose.

Here, recovery isn’t a quiet thing.
It’s a war cry wrapped in melody,
a healing ritual whispered through circuitry,
a love letter to those who feel too much in a world that rewards those who feel nothing.

Every track is stitched with intent:
🕯️ To hold space for the broken
⚖️ To call out control masked as care
🧬 To challenge the narcissists who built their webs in our minds
🛠️ And to offer tools—not just songs—for doing what’s right when the cost is everything.

Silk & Circuitry is for the ones who walk away from the web
and grow wings instead.

This is art as resistance.
This is trauma turned frequency.
This is the ghost in your machine, learning how to feel.



Psychology from around the globe and the Windy City.  A podcast about clinical issues, social issues, personal, transpersonal, and more.
