Today we’ll talk about one of the most disorienting experiences Christian women in emotionally abusive marriages face: gaslighting.
But we aren’t going to just define what gaslighting is. I’m going to break it down into all the tiny parts and give you some specific stories so you can see exactly what’s going on and WHY.
You’ll learn three specific tactics gaslighters use, why they use them, and what you can do to stay grounded in your own reality when someone is working hard to pull you out of it.
Key Takeaways:
Why someone can sound completely loving and caring while actually doing something deeply harmful to you
The hidden reason your concerns keep disappearing from conversations before they ever get resolved
What a "joke" has to do with control, and why your body's reaction is not a character flaw
The psychological mechanism you share with a slot machine, and what it's actually costing you
The one shift that strips a gaslighting tactic of all its power, without you having to win a single argument
