If you have lived through coercive control and domestic abuse, the likelihood is high that you have been gaslighted. Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which the abuser tries to make you doubt your own sanity or perception of reality. Abusers typically gaslight victims by denying things that happened, blaming you for their own behavior, and making you feel like you are losing your mind.
Gaslighting can also involve making others think that you are crazy. This is sometimes called toxic triangulation. Similarly, gaslighting can include making friends, therapists, the police, and even the courts think the domestic violence victim is actually the aggressor.
