The Gaslighting Process - Dr. Robin Stern

The Gaslighting Process - Dr. Robin Stern

Recognizing and Stopping Hidden Emotional Manipulation

Gaslighting is a form of covert narcissism and a sneaky form of emotional manipulation, in which the gaslighter distorts reality and the victim is dismissed as crazy or oversensitive.

Although gaslighting may seem like something a ruthless perpetrator inflicts on a helpless victim, according to Dr. Robin Stern, a gaslight relationship is always caused by the active involvement of two people. She calls this interaction the gaslight tango.

In The Gaslight Process, Robin Stern shows how this gaslight tango works, the phases you go through, and how you can stop dancing along and thus break free from that subtle and slippery process of uncertainty and fear, suspicion and disinformation.

The effects and serious consequences of gaslighting were already discussed in her previous book, "The Gaslight Effect." This book, too, is an eye-opener for the many people who remain stuck in a toxic relationship with their gaslighter, regardless of their will.

With the many (fill-in) exercises in The Gaslight Process, you will actively work on escaping this unhealthy dynamic.

Robin Stern , a prominent psychoanalyst, lecturer, and author, and associate director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, brought the concept of "gaslighting" back into the spotlight ten years ago. She did so by referencing the film of the same name starring Ingrid Bergman, and since then, the concept has become an inseparable part of our consciousness. Her book offers insight and healing for anyone dealing with the devastating consequences of gaslighting.
