We’ll done, disturbing subject matter
Very good explanation of this type of abuse
This is an eye opening presentation. It is comprehensive in the context of dfining behavioral patterns and characteristics, but could (if perhaps longer) include more solid exapmles of how the various tactics of narcistic personalities actually detrimentally influence the vulnerable subjects of their actions.
Interesting. Although I don’t do family law mediations, I have seen gaslighting in business settings where one has economic, and emotional power over another in a partnership. The abused has a hard time breaking up the relationship, seemingly “needing” the abusive partner to continue on with the partnership.
