One Red Flag

Our friend, Sabrina Luciano, LCSW joins us to kick off our series about Gaslighting. We will talk about the red flags of course. However, there are times where gaslighting may be a yellow flag (accidental gaslighting) or communication differences that result in gaslighting but are not a warning signal for problems. 
We also accidentally microaggress Medusa. #isMedusaaredflag?

What is One Red Flag?

Welcome to the One Red Flag Podcast, because sometimes you see them and sometimes you don’t.
Have you ever felt like something was off in a relationship, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? This podcast is all about learning how to figure out what those crucial early warning signs are – the red flags you shouldn’t ignore.
Hosted by two New York therapists who won’t give you sad eyes, Brooke Donatone and Lauren Shah. We'll guide you through the art of identifying and navigating those difficult individuals and situations who drain your energy and leave you feeling frustrated. We may even help you figure out how to make that next family holiday dinner a little less awkward.
