Gaslighting is among the most subtle yet damaging forms of emotional abuse. It is a strategy deployed by those who seek to control others’ behavior and/or obscure their own behavior. In this episode, Marcy and Lisa discuss how some individuals use lying in the service of manipulation and control; it is an ongoing issue in some marriages or divorces where one spouse may be diagnosed as a narcissist or may suffer from other mental health disorders. A gaslighter’s goal is to destabilize the other person to the point where the victim questions his/her mental stability and diminishes his/her self-confidence and self-esteem.
