Gaslighting is one of those terms that we hear often in the mental health world today.  It is a common tool narcissists will use to control those around them and is an oh-too-common occurrence when discussing emotional manipulation.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that causes the victim to question their sanity, their instincts, or their perception of events. You’ve probably experienced it, even if you didn’t have the words to describe what was happening to you.
