20 Gaslighting Phrases From The Narcissist

Trauma & Narcissism Redefined

Have you ever felt like your emotions were dismissed or invalidated by someone close to you? The manipulative tactic known as gaslighting is often used by narcissists to undermine your sense of reality.

Narcissists are driven by a deep-seated need for control and validation and use gaslighting as a means to maintain power over you.

This is a form of emotional abuse that chips away at your confidence, making you question your own perceptions and experiences.

The narcissist's goal is to create a parallel reality where you become reliant on their version of events, ultimately losing touch with your own sense of self.

By recognising the signs of gaslighting, you will take the first step towards reclaiming your autonomy and break free from the narcissist's grip.

Staying vigilant for phrases that dismiss, minimise, or deny your reality is crucial in identifying this manipulative behaviour. With self-awareness and access to support, you can begin the journey of healing and personal transformation, ultimately finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
