À propos de cet audio

Heliograph LIVE, a special feature of the Investigative Journalism Bureau’s Heliograph podcast, where we showcase compelling interviews.


In this episode, host Rob Cribb reconnects with author and researcher Dr.Jennifer Fraser, whom he first met in 2014 while reporting on allegations of physical and emotional abuse involving young athletes in Victoria, B.C., including her son. Fraser’s experience propelled her into a distinguished career studying the neuroscience of abuse. Her latest book, The Gaslit Brain, examines how psychological abuse doesn’t just wound emotionally, it also alters the brain, eroding trust, critical thinking and resilience.


In an age of disinformation, where evidence is contested and social media often eclipses journalism, we are all increasingly vulnerable to manipulation.

Rob and Jennifer, dive into the mechanics of gaslighting, how it operates, its effect on truth-telling and journalism, and what it means for all of us.
