Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse. This happens when they try to convince you that you are going crazy. The name originated from the film “Gas Light”, which in translation from English sounds like “Gas Light”. It was filmed in 1944, where the husband manipulates his wife to the point that she thinks she is losing her mind. There was a gas lamp in the attic of their house, he made the light dimmer. When the heroine of the film told him about this, he convinced her that it seemed to her. He tries to doubt the adequacy of the perception of this world in order to gain more power, makes the victim doubt reality. Thus, a person ceases to trust his perception.<\/p>

In fact, it works much better than we can imagine. Anyone is subject to gaslighting, and this is a common abuse technique. This is done slowly, so the victim is unaware of how much brainwashed she is.<\/p>

Psychologists say they are most often dictators, narcissists and people with personality disorders. They do this in order to make a person invulnerable so that the victim becomes insecure. They rarely feel guilty.<\/p>

We may encounter gaslighting in our daily life: in friendships, in a marriage, or at work. But such a person is difficult at first glance to identify, given his insidious nature. It usually starts very subtly when the other person “corrects” your thinking, refutes your statements, or devalues \u200b\u200bor rejects your emotions. This continues until you gradually begin to doubt your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, and even your memory.<\/p>

Constant gaslighting can also lead to a person’s vulnerability to various mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, low self-esteem, codependency, and others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
