3 Signs You're Not Crazy: How to Trust Your Perception After Gaslighting

You've been told you were imagining it. That you were too sensitive. That your perception couldn't be trusted. But what if your body was telling the truth all along? In this second episode of our spiritual gaslighting series, licensed counselor and author Elisha delivers the episode you asked for — a clinical, pastoral, and deeply practical guide to rebuilding trust in your own perception after gaslighting. In this episode: ✦ Why the "perception fog" happens — and what it means neurologically ✦ Sign 1: Your body responded before your mind could edit it (the somatic truth response) ✦ Sign 2: You noticed the discrepancy between words and reality — and that noticing is evidence of high attunement, not brokenness ✦ Sign 3: The fact that you're still asking is proof your perception is still online ✦ A guided somatic discernment practice — a body-based tool you can use in real time, in real conversations ✦ A closing prayer for the truth-tellers who went quiet MISSED PART 1?
