The Neuroscience of Gaslighting and the Breakdown of Empathy
In this episode of The FEMCAST, we dive deep into the brains of gaslighters and abusers — and what science can teach us about empathy, manipulation, and the cycle of abuse.
With Dr. Jen Fraser, we explore how neglect and trauma in childhood can damage the brain’s empathy networks and shape the manipulative behaviours we see in adulthood.
This is not about excusing abuse, it’s about understanding it, so we can stop it.
🎙 Listen, learn, and share.
Because when we raise children in homes grounded in empathy, safety, and love — we change everything.
This episode dives deep into:
🧩 What’s happening inside the brain of a gaslighter
💔 How early trauma shapes emotional disconnection
🌱 Why empathy education is essential for breaking cycles of abuse
⚡ How workplaces and homes can be redesigned for psychological safety
