Naming what happened. Protecting yourself. Trusting your own mind again.

Maybe a manager insisted a conversation never happened. Maybe a colleague took credit for your work, then told everyone you were "confused about the timeline". This guide is written for survivors, not for HR or managers. It won't ask you to prove that what you went through "counts".
It gives you three things:
For you whether you're still in that workplace, have recently left, or are years past it and only now finding words for what happened.
What workplace gaslighting is, the tactics, why it works, and why you didn't see it sooner.
Stabilising while you're still there, and a clear look at your options.
The neuroscience of healing, trusting your perception again, and calming your body and nervous system.
Returning to work, reclaiming your story, and your daily monitoring system.
Where to start. If you're still in a difficult workplace, Chapters 5 and 6 are the most urgent. If you've left and feel stuck, start with Chapters 4, 7, 8 and 9.
Short boxes explaining what's happening in your brain and body, drawn from neuroscience and psychology research.
A check-in and warning-sign checklist, with a filled-in worked example so you know exactly how to use it.
Step back from single bad days and see the patterns.
The bigger picture of what's really been happening.
A lighter daily page for when the gaslighting has stopped.
Guided prompts to help you process what happened and reclaim your story.
Also included: tools for your recovery and a list of selected research.
A 49-page PDF you can download straight away and read on your phone, tablet or computer. You're welcome to print the workbook pages for your own use. Please keep it off work computers and work accounts.
This guide explains what gaslighting is, how to protect yourself and how to heal. The Companion Workbook is a separate 90-page, 28-day daily workbook designed to go alongside it. Each works on its own.
It still helps. Chapters 4, 7, 8 and 9 are a good place to start, and there's a recovery-phase daily check for life after the toxic workplace.
There are optional "For readers of faith" boxes. Every tool and practice in the book works without them, so feel free to skip them.
