Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that involves an abuser making the victim doubt their own perceptions and reality. This can be done by denying the victim's experiences, emotions, and memories, and instead imposing the abuser's own version of events as the "truth." The goal of gaslighting is often to make the victim feel confused, helpless, and dependent on the perpetrator. Let's talk about how to identify gaslighting and what to do when you're ready to confront the gaslighter.
