Gaslighting: What is it + how do we recognize when it’s happening?

How can you regain your sanity after being gaslighted?

Sarah Morales is a certified life and relationship coach who has been coaching professionally for nine years.  During that time, she has contracted with numerous helping professionals and spoken at national conferences, all from the lens of her gaslighting expertise.

In 2021, her gaslighting specialty is culminating in her soon-to-be-released Deconstructing Gaslighting™ offerings: an app, mini-course, and podcast – all aimed at empowering others to better understand and identify gaslighting in their lives and relationships.

Sarah’s passion to empower others to transform their lives fuels her work with her clients and pushes her to continue developing new programs on the cutting edge of helping others grow to know, trust, and love themselves more than they knew was possible.

Sarah lives in Austin, Texas, with her family. In her spare time, you’ll most often find her running on her favorite trail down by Lady Bird Lake. Sarah loves spending time with her favorite people—talking, laughing, cooking, and enjoying the richness of healthy relationships.
