Gaslighting: The Narcissist's Favorite Tool of Manipulation: How to Avoid the Gaslight Effect and Healing from Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse

by Dr. Theresa J. Covert

Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship? Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counselors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognized, nor is it widely even known. Even when it is accepted, recognized and known, not many people seem to know what to do about it to heal it.... The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. Do the following symptoms sound familiar? “Nobody understands!” I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. Gaslighting is a covert aggressive way of distorting another person’s perception of reality to the point that that person questions their sanity or their memory. Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy. Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse. Gaslighting is lying with a goal. The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality. This means you’ll defer to the abuser for an account of what’s real so slowly over time the abuser becomes the authority over your life. Gaslighting takes place in relationships, like one-on-one relationships. It takes place in friendships, in family, in work, you’ll see gaslighting on the news, you’ll hear gaslighting coming from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising commercials, etc. What you will What you need I can’t promise you that listening to this audiobook is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you apply yourself dilligently, take notes, listen and re-listen the sections, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first three days. This is not hype, this is what my audience commonly reports.
