Deep dives
Understanding Gaslighting
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where an individual subtly undermines another person's reality, creating confusion and self-doubt. The term originated from a 1938 play titled 'Gas Light' where the protagonist is manipulated by her husband, leading her to question her sanity. This manipulation can manifest in various forms, from dismissing someone's feelings to outright denying events that have occurred, making the victim feel unstable and uncertain about their perceptions. Recognizing these dynamics is essential for individuals to understand when they might be experiencing gaslighting in their relationships.
