Appearances
Gaslighting is a repeated manipulation of another person's confidence in their own perceptions, memory, or judgment.

Now, let's pause.
podcast-host
This is where it gets so tricky because
podcast-host
When you're trying to help a person understand that their emotionally driven perception is not actually matching
podcast-host
physical observable reality, what are they going to feel?
podcast-host
Well, they're going to feel like you're trying to chip away at their confidence in their perception, their memory and their judgment.
podcast-host
So what do we do with that?
podcast-host
I have a whole episode on that.
podcast-host
I'll make sure I link it in the show notes.
podcast-host
Does that mean we just stop doing it?
podcast-host
No, we still have to do it, but it just means that unfortunately for the reasons I just described.
podcast-host
This is why somebody who is in active delusion, when you are trying to help them recalibrate to objective reality, they will experience it as you trying to chip away at their confidence, chip away at their memory and their judgment.
podcast-host
This creates a really fascinating psychological problem because normally you regulate perception through external calibration.
podcast-host
I remember X happened, you remember X happened, there's a text message that shows X happened, therefore I now have multiple points of verification.
podcast-host
But imagine another person systematically attacking every one of those anchors.
podcast-host
That never happened.
podcast-host
You remembered it wrong.
podcast-host
You're being irrational.
podcast-host
You always get like this.
podcast-host
And by the way, always and never are absolute.
