Digital Mandala + Boosted Audio: DM: Release and Heal Gaslighting - MaitreyaFields
Gaslighting has become a popular term, known by almost everyone. The term originated from a play and later a movie called Gaslightthat was made in the 1940ties. The plot of the movie is that a husband attempts to convince his wife that she is going crazy by changing secretly elements of her surroundings and then telling her that nothing has changed and she is delusional. The title of the play refers to him slowly dimming the gaslights in the house and telling his wife that nothing is different and she needed to be examined and committed to a mental institution.
Since the 1960s the word has become popular and in the 70ties and 80tieshas been used in the psychiatric literature as a term describing behavior aimed at destroying anotherâs the perception of reality. Now we use the term in the same manner as a word that describes a form of psychological abuse that can damage one»s self-esteem, question their reality, sanity, and even memories. This leads to the person being incapable of clear thinking and becoming dependant on the abuser. Such a person becomes anxious, confused, and exhibiting cognitive dissonance.
One of the tactics of the abuser is to separate their victim from the people he or she is close to and loves. In forced isolation when there is no feedback from an honest person the victim is easier to manipulate and scare even further. This in turn deepens depression, isolation, sense of powerlessness and makes them afraid to even share their thoughts and perception in case they are ridiculed or told they are wrong. Such people show what is known to «illusory truth effect» which is the tendency to believe false information is, in fact, correct based on repeated exposure to lies that become accepted as reality.
This phenomenon occurs in romantic relationships, families, platonic relationships, and between âfriendsâ as well as work-related and even in large social groups. This is always based on malicious behavior and conscious attempts to mislead someone for the abuserâs own interest. The abuser can be a person, a corporation or a government body, or a media outlet. A person, group of people or even whole societies can lose their grounding in reality and accept the false belief that is damaging to them and serves another interest.
Usually, the victim does not realize they are being manipulated for a long time and leads to them being scared, overwhelmed, and confused. It is indeed possible for a person to free themselves from the emotional abuse, break the cycle and get in touch with reality and their own judgment once again.
