Narcissistic Abuse: Gaslighting and Psychological Manipulation


Listen Later

Narcissistic abuse is a form of psychological manipulation that relies on dominance, power, and control, and is enforced most often through various forms of mental abuse. Gaslighting is a tool that narcissists rely on to cause their victims to consistently doubt the validity of their thoughts. Whether a narcissist is aware of their mind games is not as important as recognizing these forms of abuse. Once you recognize gaslighting, projection, and various forms of invalidation, you can far more guard yourself against the trauma bonds these relationships create.

In a trauma bonded relationship, your cognitive ability to trust your thoughts, emotions, needs, ideas, opinions, and perceptions will become hindered due to being manipulated to believe that questioning a narcissist is a form of disloyalty. Your very thoughts and emotions will work against you, that is until you gain the invaluable insights you need to arm yourself against narcissistic abuse.
