Part 4/7:
One of the defining features of narcissistic abuse is the practice of gaslighting. This insidious tactic involves manipulating a person's perception of reality, leading them to question their memories, feelings, and even their sanity. Gaslighting exacerbates the feelings of helplessness and confusion, leaving victims feeling isolated and vulnerable. It distorts their understanding of experiences, making it harder for them to trust themselves or communicate their needs effectively.
