Gaslighting

2/3/2022

 
gas·light
/ˈɡaslīt/
 
verb
  1. manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.
    "in the first episode, Karen Valentine is being gaslighted by her husband"
Reflect to understand when the experience of "gaslighting" has happened to you. Both in childhood and more recent life. It will make you less vulnerable to manipulations. Kind hearted people need to be extra informed, the tendency for empathy can be a vulnerability when it comes to unwelcome agendas.

Many people are not psychologically healthy and cause harm in covert ways. Learning to recognize psychologically unhealthy behavior, and respond in your best possible way.....is sort of a superpower. An immunity to being  coerced. 

It is good to know more about your experience with the concept of gaslighting.
