Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or mental health professionals who can provide validation and support. Having someone who believes and validates your experiences can help counteract the effects of gaslighting and reaffirm your sense of reality.
Establish clear boundaries with the gaslighter to protect yourself from further manipulation. Communicate assertively and firmly assert your right to your thoughts, feelings, and boundaries.
Learn about gaslighting and manipulative tactics to recognize them when they occur. Understanding the dynamics of gaslighting can empower you to identify and confront manipulation tactics effectively.
Prioritize self-care and prioritize activities that promote your mental and emotional well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy, relaxation, and fulfillment.
