Have you ever had the experience of being manipulated by a person to such an extent that you felt something was wrong with your perception? That you finally started to doubt your perceptive faculty, even your mental health? You are not alone in this: this common phenomenon is called gaslighting, and it is a subtle yet serious form of psychological violence that can have lasting effects on the victim's self-esteem. In this guidebook, you'll learn not only what exactly gaslighting actually is and how this mechanism works, but also how you can free yourself from the manipulation trap.

Haben Sie schon einmal die Erfahrung gemacht, von einer Person derartig manipuliert zu werden, dass in Ihnen das Gefühl aufkam, mit Ihrer Wahrnehmung stimme etwas nicht? Dass Sie schließlich begonnen haben, an Ihrer Auffassungsgabe, ja, sogar Ihrer geistigen Gesundheit zu zweifeln? Dass Sie anfingen, das Vertrauen in Ihre Sinne zu verlieren, weil Ihnen regelmäßig suggeriert wurde, Sie nähmen die Realität falsch wahr? Sie sind damit nicht allein.

I am the narcissist. I will do whatever I want to whenever I want to do it. I will intimidate, triangulate, gaslight, abuse, and scare you at will. I will put you at the center of my friends and my family so that I can control your behavior from all sides and from all angles. You think that you have entered this relationship of your own free will. Not so. You have entered this relationship, and now you are not allowed to leave it before I feel it is time to discard you.

I was stranded. Today, I tell people I have Wi-Fi to God, but I’ve been in the wilderness without a connection and I’ve wandered around without any hope of signaling somebody for help. Nobody wanted me. Nobody loved me. Nobody cared. Experiences and people knocked down my bars; then knocked out my power. Disregard took down attention. Abuse took down approval. Destruction took down growth. Neglect took down kindness. But no one could ever take down that fifth bar: presence. There was a presence in my life—one that did want me, one that loved me and cared for me; it took decades to recognize the bar that never fell. This is the story of that presence and how, with it, I got all five bars rockin’! This is my story.
