Gaslighting describes a phenomenon where your perception is being questioned to the point of questioning your sanity. In gaslighting one person is using psychological manipulation in order to deliberately make the other person question their own thoughts, feelings, experiences or sensations. Gaslighting is an extreme form of emotional abuse.<br/> <br/>We explore how gaslighting presents in (abusive) relationships, for example or through denial or obfuscation, and what needs to happen if you find yourself being gaslighted.<br/><br/>Related podcasts:<br/><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-to-deal-with-a-toxic-partner-breaking-away/id1542526780?i=1000542737675'>How to deal with a toxic partner? - Breaking away from narcissistic abuse</a><br/><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/why-it-is-so-hard-to-leave-an-abusive-relationship/id1542526780?i=1000553201928'>Why it is so hard to leave an abusive relationship</a></p>
