How Gaslighting Works
Gaslighting is a vicious cycle that gives the narcissist more and more control. They can then rewrite your narrative, deny things happened, or claim things happened that didn’t. And over time, their stories become the “official” version of events. So that’s why when you’re away from the relationship, you’re left wondering if anything was real, or if it was all just a big lie. And that’s what results in you not being able to trust your feelings.

Signs of Narcissistic Gaslighting
These are all signs of narcissistic gaslighting. And they point to unhealthy, abusive and controlling behaviour. So in situations like these, the best way to protect yourself is to set firm boundaries. You’re not going to be able to have a healthy relationship with someone who’s trying to manipulate you. So rather than finding ways to deal with their gaslighting, find ways to help you distance yourself from the relationship.

Gaslighting’s one of those things, that until you know what it means, you don’t realise there’s a name for what you’ve experienced. Because it’s not something you can just spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. So if you can get to grips with how it makes you feel as well, then you’ll have some extra markers for spotting it.

Stop Narcissistic Gaslighting, Confusion AND Feeling Crazy
Narcissistic Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic where the gaslighter controls your reality with their words. Dr Ramani describes it as a two step process whereby the first part is denying you the truth. And the second part is flipping the untruth back onto you. In other words, they add some extra details on to their lie to make you question yourself. And that way, you’re less focused on them and more concerned with yourself.

Narcissistic Gaslighting
While you may be familiar with the term narcissistic gaslighting, you may not be aware of the detrimental effects this form of covert emotional abuse can have. Or, more often than not, you may be unaware this is happening to you. The gaslighter aims to make you lose your sense of self, identity, and perception of reality to make you feel replaceable and ultimately reliant on the abuser for reassurance.

The main reason gaslighting can be so effective is that it happens slowly and subtly over a long time. Because of this, it comes under the umbrella of covert abuse simply because of how easily hidden from others it is. So by the time you are questioning whether you are being gaslit, it may have already been happening for months, years, or even decades.
