Where to Get Help:
Sometimes, support from friends and family isn't enough to help you manage a toxic situation. Oftentimes, resolution won’t work (with #clusterB individuals). Consider talking to a mental health professional like a psychologist, therapist, or counselor.

How to Respond to Gaslighting:
If you think you are being gaslit (rather than having poor communication or a healthy disagreement), try to talk things out with the other person. Communicate your needs and set clear boundaries.

Are You Being Gaslit?
Healthy #relationships and interactions shouldn’t have gaslighting behaviors. Look for signs of gaslighting in your relationships. Try talking with a friend who might help you to see the situation more clearly.

When Your Doctor Gaslights You:
Gaslighting happens in doctor's offices and hospitals, too. Often it takes the form of the doctor not listening to you or not taking your concerns seriously.

Forms of Gaslighting:
Gaslighting doesn't only happen between romantic partners. For example, your boss might gaslight you by denying that they offered you a raise or by making you look weak or incompetent to company management.

How Gaslighting Affects You:
After someone has been gaslighting you for a while, you might start to doubt your feelings and memories. You might wonder if you imagined the events in question or if you're being too sensitive.

Signs Someone Is Gaslighting You:
Gaslighters use many techniques to gain power over you. One method is to deny something they said or did. If you question their version of events, they pretend to forget or accuse you of misremembering.

Why Do People Gaslight?
Like other types of #abuse, gaslighting is a way to gain control over someone else, a situation, or the gaslighter’s own discomfort. Example: a gaslighter might shift the focus of an unpleasant conversation away from themselves by suggesting that the other person is at fault.

Where Did ‘Gaslighting’ Come From?
It’s from the 1938 play Gas Light, which was turned into a 1944 movie starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. Boyer plays a scheming husband who tries to convince his wife that she's lost her mind.

What Is #Gaslighting?
Lately, everyone from politicians to celebrities seem to be talking about gaslighting. But what is it? The term is often used incorrectly to describe any argument someone doesn't agree with. But real gaslighting can be a form of #emotionalabuse.
