James Saroka, a guy with a channel on Periscope, gives us a great example of gaslighting when he gaslights his wife Kaitlin. I think James's behaviour is abusive and that he exhibits traits found in people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Like all narcissistic abuse, gaslighting is a way to manipulate a person to the abuser's advantage. Gas lighting gives us the feeling we can't trust ourselves or our experiences and that there is something wrong with the way we interpret the world around us and our senses. When someone is gaslighted many times by a narcissist, they can experience something called 'Learned Helplessness' which I'll be looking at in another video soon.
