The Gaslighting Workbook: When Reality Isn't Real - The Most Effective Methods to Avoid Mental Manipulation and Trust Yourself Again After Psychological Abuse
Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship?Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help.
Gaslighting is a covert aggressive way of distorting another person’s perception of reality to the point that that person questions their sanity or their memory.
Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy.
Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse.
Gaslighting is lying with a goal.
The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.
This means you’ll defer to the abuser for an account of what’s real so slowly over time the abuser becomes the authority over your life.
Gaslighting takes place in relationships, like one-on-one relationships. It takes place in friendships, in family, in work, you’ll see gaslighting on the news, you’ll hear gaslighting coming from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising commercials, etc.
DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR?- Doubting yourself and your sanity- Feeling like you’re losing your mind- Feeling like you’re always apologizing- You’re second-guessing your memory- Feeling like you aren’t good enough- Feeling misunderstood- Feeling lonely- Ruined self confidence- Extreme weight loss or weight gain- Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity- Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong- Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective)- Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex- Constantly trying to find explanations for what has happened- Feelings of helplessness and despair- A desire to self isolate- Feeling desperately misunderstood- Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief- Extreme bouts of rage- An inability to be comfortable with yourself- Strange dreams- Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression
The list goes on….“NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!”I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot.WHAT YOU NEED Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside.
-Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissist can create.
I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.
This is not hype, this is what my audience commonly report

Amazing well written, very true alot of this actually happen and everywhere. This should be a proper course book if you wish to teach people life.
I have observed these traits in individual all all accompanied acts but really didn't know terms and names . It also the best book if you want to wake up to life as a whole because you're always being Gaslighted, it's true for the mass media generated hysteria as well as all the misinformation you're fed on daily Basis.
So if you read this book do transcend it's meaning across all facets of life even though it's more focused on relationships but it happens in all kinds of social transactions. Again it's very well written and very naturally written.

Interesting
It’s hard to believe that there are actually people out there who treat others so badly and manipulatively. But if you’re a victim of gaslighting I think this workbook would be helpful

Help in Politics
I downloaded this book to see if I could understand the word Gaslighting, which was so often used in politics during the last administration. This book is more about relationships, but helped me understand the concept.
