VIENNA JUNE 2025: The concept of gaslighting and its negative implications in relationships has been ongoing and rampant in our society. In this video, Doug Weiss, licensed psychologist and counselor, explains what gaslighting is and will give you the necessary tools to fight back when this manipulative strategy is used against you.
Gaslighting involves denying reality, lying, and shifting the blame onto you, making you doubt yourself, regardless of the wrongs you suspect or know they are perpetrating. Simply, this strategy gets you to question your perception and reality so that they can get away with or not be confronted about their behavior, beliefs, or lifestyle. What they say happened is really what happened, regardless of what you think.
Why would a person gaslight their significant other in such a manipulative and abusive way? Why would they want you not to have your own feelings and reality? It could be a number of reasons including having a secret addiction, committing an illegal activity, or just not wanting to be wrong about anything.
Overall, remember that it’s not about you. It’s not your fault, this is about them. They would be doing this regardless of who they were with, based on the internal issues and processing they have. You don’t have to be at the mercy of gaslighting. Learn how to fight back and gain support in this video!
