He served 28 years in the Met. Counter-terrorism. Leadership. The front line of public safety.

Then the institution turned on him.

In this episode of The FEMCAST, as part of our Gaslit Brain Series, former Met Police officer Jonathan Wilson reveals how he was bullied, sidelined, and systematically gaslit by senior leadership after raising serious ethical concerns.

What happened to Jonathan wasn’t a “personality clash”.

It was institutional abuse — and the Casey Report later confirmed everything he tried to warn about: misogyny, racism, homophobia, bullying, nepotism, and catastrophic leadership failure at the heart of the Met.

This is the same broken culture that has allowed male violence against women to flourish on their watch — including by serving officers now jailed for femicide.

Dr Jen Fraser features Jonathan’s experience in her new book The Gaslit Brain, because his story is a chilling, real-world case study of how gaslighting operates at institutional level — and what it does to the human mind.

This is not just a policing scandal. It’s a public safety crisis, and it affects every one of us.

🎧 In this episode of The Gaslit Brain series on The FEMCAST, we dive into the chilling concept of malignant self-love — the driving force behind narcissism and psychopathy — as explored in Sam Vaknin’s groundbreaking book Malignant Self-Love.

We unpack what happens when people with no empathy or accountability rise to positions of power — from workplaces to politics — and how their behaviour corrodes entire systems. Through the story of a whistleblower who exposed corruption and paid the price, we reveal how society often protects toxic power while punishing truth-tellers.

This conversation shines a light on how narcissists manipulate, gaslight, and objectify others, creating environments that foster fear, silence, and mental harm. We explore why psychological safety must be recognised as a human right, and how empathy and education are our greatest defences against manipulation and abuse.

Join us as we expose the patterns of power and control — and imagine a future built on empathy, accountability, and safer communities for all.

What happens when manipulation becomes a management style?

In this powerful listener-submitted story, we expose the hidden epidemic of psychological abuse and gaslighting in the workplace. From shifting goalposts to manufactured chaos and control, this episode unpacks the chilling tactics used by abusers— and the devastating toll it takes on victims’ mental and physical health.

We confront how organisations protect perpetrators, silence whistleblowers, and enable a culture of coercive control. Together, we explore why education, empathy, and resistance are vital to building psychologically safe workplaces and reclaiming our collective humanity.

🎙️ A must-listen for anyone who’s ever doubted their own reality at work.
