On this week's Positive Talk Podcast, we are merging faith and psychology in a really practical way as we discuss what happens when we feel anxiety about our faith.

Last week, Julie and Chuck discussed Gaslighting, and this week, in part two, they will discuss what to do if you are being gaslighted. It starts with ten phrases that help you identify gaslighting and the appropriate responses to avoid being gaslighted.

 “You’re crazy”. “It didn’t happen that way,” “You’re too sensitive.”  and “Oh stop, you’re okay.” These are all phrases that are used when an individual is seeking to gain power and control over another person through an act we call “gaslighting.” Are you involved in a relationship where you are being gaslighted? Join Julie and Chuck for an interesting discussion on this week's Positive Talk Podcast.
