4 ways to gaslight a gaslighter
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where the gaslighter makes the victim question their reality, memory, or perceptions.
It can be subtle or blatant, but its effects can be deeply damaging, causing confusion, anxiety, and a loss of self-trust.
If you find yourself dealing with a gaslighter, itâs essential to protect your mental well-being. Here are some effective strategies to handle a gaslighter using tactics that counter their behaviour:
Maintain steeze and composure
Gaslighters thrive on chaos and emotional reactions. They may provoke you to react angrily or defensively so they can paint you as the irrational one.
Practice staying calm and composed, even when they try to provoke you. This approach not only prevents them from gaining the upper hand but also allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally.
