## Resource

In this video, I break down why narcissists and toxic people gaslight you, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who has used gaslighting in relationships. We’ll talk about how gaslighting lets them control the narrative, avoid accountability, protect their ego, and slowly erode your trust in your own memory, emotions, and reality so you become easier to manipulate. I’ll walk you through common gaslighting phrases, the cycle that keeps you trauma‑bonded and self‑doubting, and the subtle ways they blame‑shift and project their behavior onto you. Most importantly, you’ll learn practical steps to name gaslighting when it’s happening, protect your sense of reality, and start breaking free from their control.
