What is the Best Response to Gaslighting ? #gaslighting #emotionalabuse #marriagecounseling

What is the best approach to

gaslighting? Or someone is

sharing their version, a distorted

version of what has happened and it

creates confusion. Now, the best

response to gaslighting depends upon the

context and your goal. Maybe your goal

is to uh protect yourself emotionally.

Maybe you have a goal to maintain the

relationship. Maybe you have a goal of

asserting boundaries. Nonetheless,

overall, your core goal needs to be, and

I want you to remember this, stay

grounded in your reality. Do not

internalize the distortion. One more

time, this is it. Stay grounded in your

reality. Do not internalize the

distortion. Number one, recognize it.

Name it to yourself. This is

gaslighting. This is distortion. Number

two, do not, and I do I I've done so

many videos on this. Do not engage in

the illusion. Don't argue with it. Don't

wrangle with it. Don't debate a false

version of events. Gaslighters often

want to pull you into their loop. And

you want to stay out of it. Keep it

simple. A calm, short response like,

"That's not how I remember it. We see

things differently.

I'm clear about what happened." Calm.

Clear.
