Gaslighting is hard to see. That’s the point. Abusers want to confuse their victims and keep them questioning reality. It’s part of their sick game. But with knowledge comes power. So read on – it’s time to take back your power.

Last Thursday, as the kids headed up to bed, I headed out – to a Sound Bath and Reiki Energy Healing session. The session was the largest I’ve been to yet, with a lot of first-timers. I could see it in their faces – the doubt, the nervousness. I remember my first time. I, too, was skeptical. At the time, my anxiety was unmanageable and I was depressed. I was so desperate for a healthy way to cope with the turmoil, I was willing to try anything. And I’m so glad I did.

Everyone feels down from time to time. It’s normal – we’re human. And these days, there are plenty of extra reasons to feel bummed. The next time you’re in a mental health slump, schedule an appointment with your hairstylist. Why? Because science says so.
