Brain science can help us understand that those at work who abuse may well be in the Dark Triad. If they are abusive, not the kind of bully who loses their cool when under pressure and lashes out, but abusive in the conniving, lying, manipulating way, then you are likely to be dealing with the Dark Triad. It's critically important to understand that their brains can do "evil" because they have "empathy erosion." Learn why our brains are easily manipulated by these people at work who rise up through the ranks and can unleash serious harm.

In her new book The Gaslit Brain, Dr. Jennifer Fraser explores how gaslighting manipulates the brain—both in how it’s used and how it harms. Through neuroscience and psychology, she reveals how manipulators exploit trust, status, and credibility to distort reality, erode mental clarity, and even cause physical brain damage. As gaslighting infiltrates both personal and public life, understanding its effects has become essential for psychological safety. Her book:

• Examines the neurological impact on targets, showing how deception and betrayal disrupt brain function. Using brain imaging, scientists now reveal just how visibly damaging gaslighting can be.
• Highlights five individuals who resist gaslighting and transform their trauma into advocacy. These stories prove that it’s possible to identify manipulation early and break free from its grip.
• Turns cutting-edge research into actionable strategies. With exercises and tools rooted in neuroscience, readers learn how to stay clear-minded and resilient in the face of gaslighters—from the personal to the political.

Dr. Jennifer Fraser, PhD, is a leading expert on bullying and the author of four books. She founded The Bullied Brain after witnessing abuse in education and now works to expose and end psychological harm through science and advocacy.
