Understanding gaslighting

Do you know what gaslighting is?
Most people have heard of the term, but many do not understand what it really means.
This workshop will delve into the issue of gaslighting as a form of emotional abuse in the context of intimate relationships. We will explore the origins of the word and what it actually means, how to recognise the signs, and what can be done about it.
This workshop will be delivered by Abda Khan, author of the novel 'That Which May Destroy You', a thrilling courtroom drama based on the subject of gaslighting.
