Psychology: what is gaslighting?
Self-tutoring about psychology: the tutor mentions gaslighting.
gaslighting (noun):
a type of emotional abuse designed to cause the victim to doubt their sanity. It is accomplished using lies, often in concert with bullying. Gaslighting is used to manipulate the victim by changing their point of view so they will acquiesce in situations they shouldn’t.
Gaslighting is said to be surprisingly common, and I agree. I hope to discuss scenarios surrounding it in future posts:)
