gaslighting and emotional invalidation

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where a person deliberately makes another doubt their own perception, memory, or sanity, often by denying or distorting facts or events. Emotional invalidation refers to dismissing, ignoring, or belittling someone's emotions, making them feel their feelings are unimportant or wrong. It typically involves failing to empathize or understand their emotions and can be damaging to their emotional well-being.
