This is a book that I was a bit selfish with requesting because it was for me and solely me.
I have a history with gaslighting as I am a victim from a very toxic relationship. I still suffer from the side effects of it. I probably always will.
This is truly a workbook as it features several different scenarios and also has questions snd and spaces where you can fill out your answers.
With gaslighting you feel as though you’re alone, you’re insane, and nothing you do is right.
It’s hard to find yourself again.
That is what your abuser wants. They want to break you down.
This wasn’t an easy read but I am happy I did so. It’s nice to know I’m not alone and that there is help out there and I’m not trapped inside of my mind.
This is a critical body of work for those of us that have been victims of gaslighting in our lives . I appreciate the ARC from the publisher and author for review. My review opinion is my own.
Gaslighting is the practice of psychologically manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity. It is commonly done by sociopaths and abusers as well as abusive family members , manipulators , controlling friends and even those you date. . Many women are abused on the job and a abusive boss may use this form of control to frame women and ruin their reputation. It is used by stalkers, ex's and sociopath's. It is often found on the job today, in the dating world and even in your church with so called friends. Women often suffer in silence not understanding that they are not at fault here. It is a form of traumatic long term emotional abuse. it can be a long healing process through this abuse and this workbook I highly recommend for everyone affected in their lives by this terrible abuse.
The author has created a sensitive workbook here that uses tools for recovery. The first step is to profile your abuser which can be difficult for many recovering from abuse. The author moves on to positive exercises that help you to recover using positive thoughts with your recovery. This is a hard subject for victims and the author has created a unique and positive work book to help you with your recovery. I highly recommend this book for all who have been traumatized in their life by this form of abuse. Very well done to the author and thank you. Use this book for your recovery and you will emerge from this abuse with recovery and strength.

This is one of my more favorite workbooks as of late for a really, really, really hard topic: gaslighting. Gaslighting is one of those things where you question yourself and think about what you did wrong rather than the abuser being the person at fault for whatever situation. The author clearly explains a lot of different topics around this type of abuse, and has helpful exercises to really think about what you just read with your experience. I would suggest picking it up or even giving it a quick read if you think you might've been affected.
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that isn't talked about enough. This is the process of getting your victim to question their own sanity and is a type of abuse seen frequently, but not talked about. As a psychology major, I found this workbook to be interesting and helpful. I feel like the exercises would go a long way in rebuilding the self-esteem that was stolen from a victim. I highly recommend this!
