Narcissistic & emotionally abusive relationships
Gaslighting
When your own perception starts to feel unreliable.
Gaslighting is when your experience of reality is repeatedly denied or twisted, until you start to doubt your own memory, judgment, or sanity. These patterns can occur in emotionally abusive relationships. This isn't about diagnosing anyone — it's about reconnecting with what you actually experienced.
Is there a moment you remember clearly, but were told didn't happen that way, or didn't happen at all?
What did you directly observe or experience, separate from what you were told to believe?
What would it feel like to trust that memory again?
