I get asked a lot about “gaslighting”
in my work and it is a term that is poorly understood. A lot of people gaslight without even knowing it, and YES, let’s not tip toe around, it’s a form of emotional abuse.
So, here’s the thing I tell clients in couples therapy:
How can we replace hurtful gaslighting words with respectful words in a way that actually helps solve the problem?
Let’s be clear.
Gaslighting is a maladaptive communication style that destroys relationships.
Don’t let that be you.
