Gaslighting - Emotional and Psychological Manipulation

2 years ago
16

Gaslighting is not just lying but a form of psychological and emotional manipulation. It is a tactic commonly used by narcissists to abuse and manipulate someone into questioning their own sense of reality, their values, memories and integrity. The aim is to have victims believe their thoughts, feelings and experiences aren't valid.

The abuser tells their victim a version of reality, what to believe and what not to believe through a process of lies and manipulation. Because many abusers can be very intelligent and have had a long time to practice their skills, the victims often questions their own thoughts, experiences and may think that they are crazy.
