Do you always feel the need to apologise in your relationship? Does it make you anxious? Are you led to believe that you're crazy? Do you know someone who has the power to make you feel guilty, trapped and confused?
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that occurs in abusive relationships. It's the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events that occur around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity. Gaslighting can happen in many types of relationship, including those with bosses, friends and parents; but probably the most devastating form of gaslighting is when it occurs in a relationship between a couple.
