“Are there common gaslighting techniques?” Here are 11

FACT: One of the weapons used by those who strive to control us is to play vicious mental games. And they are so good with them, we often have no idea that we are being victims. Speaking of that, “Are there common gas lighting techniques?” Here are 11.

Maybe he is familiar with the 1944 academy award, Gas lightAdapted from the 1938 work by Patrick Hamilton, Gas light.

Gas light

In the movie, Paula Account Anton (Ingrid Bergman) and Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer) are married. However, she does not know that her husband is actually Sergis Bauer, the man who killed her aunt in an attempt to rob jewelry.

It seems that her husband left the jewels because Paula interrupted the procedures, at age 14.

Well, Gregory aims to finish the work, so it forces the residence in the old farm. And insists that aunt furniture is stored in the attic.

Psychological torture begins

Gregory’s mission is for Paula to declare crazy so that she can have her institutionalized and assigned power. Of course, he can freely look for jewels.

Then the psychological torture of Gregory de Paula begins. Its tactics include isolation, accusations of bad judgment and paranoia, and inexplicable steps throughout the house.

And all the time, hits the lie that everything is in Paula’s imagination.

The origin of the “gas lighting”

The gas lights throughout the house begin to be attenuated and rejected. Naturally, Paula believes that she must be in her head, but it is Gregory lighting the attic lights while looking for the jewels.

Well, with the help of an inspector from Scotland Yard, the plot of Gregory and the vicious mental game are discovered. And the best part is that Paula recovers confidence in her sanity and hits Gregory with a mockery of choice while being tied to a chair, before being taken.

So, then, “Gaslighting.”

Dr. Stephanie Sarkis in Gaslighting

Dr. Stephanie Sarkis is an expert in Gaslighting. In fact, he has written a book entitled Gaslighting: Recognize manipulative and emotionally abusive people, and release. I will put a link to get to it at the end.

Defined gas lighting

Here is the definition of Dr. Sarkis of Gas Lighting …

A tactic in which a person or entity, to gain more power, makes a victim question his reality.

He continues to say that anyone is susceptible to gas lighting, and is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists and cult leaders.

A face for the public, one for the victim

Cruelly, it becomes slowly, so the victim has no idea how much the brain has been washed.

Gaslight often presents one face to its prey and another to everyone else. He leads the victims to assume that their manipulation history will not be believed, if they should ask for help.

There is no doubt, the victims are attacked in their nucleus: their sense of identity and self -esteem. Therefore, it is not surprising that gas lighting can make one doubt about its memory, perception and sanity.

11 Common gas lighting techniques

From his book, Dr. Sarkis shares 11 common gas lighting techniques …

1. Saying shameless lies: with a serious face, they are establishing a precedent to keep you unstable and out of killer.
2. Denying that they once said something, even if it has evidence: it is the beginning of questioning their own reality and accepting yours.
3. Using what is close and dear to you as ammunition: generally the first attacked things are your children and identity, the basis of your being.
4. Use you over time: a lie here, a lie there. Then a sarcastic comment or two. And everything starts to take its toll.
5. The actions do not match their words: look what they are doing, instead of what they are saying. What they are saying does not mean anything.
6. Launching a positive reinforcement to confuse you: after cutting you, some praise will praise from time to time. It is calculated to stay unstable.
7. Knowing the confusion weakens people: knowing stability and normality are important, they uproot it to keep it constantly questioning.
8. Project: They accuse you of everything they are. It is to make you defend yourself so that you are distracted from your behavior.
9. Trying to align people against you: they are master manipulators, find people who know will support you regardless of what. They will quote these people saying bad things about you. It is an effort to isolate you from all.
10. Tell you or others that you are crazy: one of the most effective tools because it is derogatory. If they question their sanity, they know that others will not believe him when he presents the truth about them.
11. Telling everyone else is a liar: it is about making your reality question. You have never met someone with this type of sick nerve, so you think they should be telling the truth. It is manipulation, making you resort to them for “truth.”

Those vicious mental games.
