@relationshipswithaly: People are going to say I’m gaslighting them in this video. Gaslighting DOES EXIST. It is an abusive tactic and can cause serious harm. I absolutely think calling out this behavior is important. AND Pop psychology loves to pathologize any and every behavior that causes distress. Arguments, disagreements, and differences of opinion cause distress! But if these happen in your relationship, it does not automatically mean that your partner is gaslighting you. Look out for PATTERNS. Do you still have a voice in the relationship? Do you still have power in the relationship? Are you able to express your views without being shared, belittled, and called out? Then maybe it is not gaslighting. Disclaimer: IG is not therapy. This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
