Video Description

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where someone seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or sanity. It's a subtle yet damaging tactic that can leave you feeling confused, invalidated, and powerless. This tactic is frequently employed by narcissists and is prevalent in situations of narcissistic abuse. However, it's important to note that it can also occur in interactions with individuals who aren't narcissistic. So, in this video, we're breaking down what gaslighting is and shedding light on how to respond to it. From recognizing manipulation tactics to understanding gaslighting's impact, we're here to provide practical advice on how to stop gaslighting in any situation. #gaslighting #manipulation Writer: Sid Thompson Editor: Vanessa Tao Script Manager: Kelly Soong Voice Over: Amanda Silvera (http://www.youtube.com/amandasilvera ) Animator: Fleur Amodia (new animator) YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong References: Mindbodygreen.
