gaslighting and trauma

Gaslighting is a form of manipulation where someone deliberately invalidates another person's emotions, thoughts, or experiences, making them doubt their own perceptions and sanity. It is aimed at gaining power and control over the victim. Trauma refers to an emotional and psychological response to an extremely distressing or painful event. It can result from experiences like abuse, accidents, or witnessing violence, leaving the individual feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and emotionally injured.
