How Gaslighting Is Abuse That Stays with You Like a Terrifying Hurricane

How Gaslighting Is Abuse That Stays with You Like a Terrifying Hurricane | Kinsanity | Scoop.it
Have you ever experienced gaslighting? It's an abuse tactic that makes you doubt your own memory. In this chilling performance, Tatyana Brown captures how the impact can stick with you many years later.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Toxic relationships are full of gaslighting, which is as much designed to make you feel crazy as it is to make you look crazy - which renders any complaints to others mute.

People Who Can't Control Themselves Control The People Around Them

People Who Can't Control Themselves Control The People Around Them | Kinsanity | Scoop.it

When people can't modulate their own anxieties and insecurities, one partner's options and priorities are sacrificed on the alter of the other's fears, whether those options are a new baby, a new job, or new sexual behavior. You also fear that if your partner doesn't need you, because he or she can take care of himself/herself, then he or she wouldn't want you or choose you. This makes you fear your partner becoming more emotionally autonomous as much as you fear it in yourself.
