Gaslighting? How to Recognize and Confront It Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the narcissist seeks to make you doubt your own perceptions, memories, or reality. It’s a powerful tactic used to control and destabilize a person’s sense of self. Understanding what gaslighting is and how to confront it can empower individuals to protect themselves from emotional abuse. Gaslighting typically begins with small, seemingly insignificant distortions of reality. The narcissist may deny things they’ve said or done, or they might offer an alternative version of events that contradicts your own memories. These distortions can leave you feeling confused and questioning what you know to be true.
