The Verywell Mind Podcast’s“Friday Fix” is a short episode that features a quick, actionable tip or exercise to help you manage a specific mental health issue or concern.
When someone is gaslighting you, you’ll likely second guess yourself. Gaslighters are good at convincing you that you’ve lost touch with reality.
Whether they lie about your behavior, insist your feelings are irrational, or say your thoughts are distorted, their goal is to cause you to feel as though you’re losing your mind.
While gaslighting is most often discussed in terms ofromantic relationships, it can occur in other relationships too. Your boss, friends, extended family, or even your doctor may gaslight you.
Gaslighting can stem from an issue of power and control. It may also result from someone trying to get you to depend on them. Or, it may stem from their desire to hide their own unhealthy habits (like when someone is trying to cover up theirsubstance abuse).
It’s tough to know what’s real and what isn’t when someone gaslights you. So on today’s episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I share four strategies that can help you stay mentally strong when someone is gaslighting you. I explain how to recognize gaslighting and what to do about it.
