In this episode of Everyday Simple Somatics, Dr. Christine Baker explores the profound effects of gaslighting on your body and nervous system, and guides you through a powerful practice called "Reality Anchoring" to help you reconnect with your body's truth. 🎯 In This Episode: - What gaslighting actually is (and isn't) - How gaslighting creates real effects in your body and nervous system - Why your body stores the truth even when your mind is confused - The science behind implicit memory and body-based truth - A step-by-step Reality Anchoring practice to reclaim your sense of reality 💡 Key Concepts: - Gaslighting makes you doubt your perceptions, memories, feelings, and even sanity - Your body stores memories in your muscles, organs, and nervous system—not just your brain - Gaslighting creates internal conflict between your body's wisdom and external narratives - Chronic gaslighting can lead to dissociation, brain fog, and loss of self-trust - Your body still knows the truth, even after years of gaslighting ✨ The Reality Anchoring Practice: - Connect to where your body holds the truth of what happened - Validate your body's wisdom with compassionate touch - Ground yourself in present reality using your senses - Affirm your truth out loud to let your body hear you 📝 Notable Quote: "Your body still knows the truth. Even when your mind is confused, even if you have been gaslit for years, your body holds the reality of what happened." 🎓 About Dr. Christine Baker: Licensed Professional Counselor with 13+ years of experience in trauma recovery and certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner, specializing in body-based approaches to healing. 🔜 Next Episode: Join us next week to learn how to calm an overreactive startle response with practical tools for those who jump at every sound or constantly feel on edge. 💫 Want More?
