Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. People experiencing gaslighting often feel confused, anxious, and unable to trust themselves.
At its heart, gaslighting is emotional abuse, It’s a tactic one partner uses in an effort to exert power over, gain control over, and inflict emotional damage on the other. According to Bergen, “Gaslighting is such a malicious form of emotional abuse because it causes you to question your experiences, so it can be difficult to identify the warning signs.”
