5 Ways to Respond to Gaslighting

1. Don’t suppress your emotions. Acknowledge them.

2. Stay connected to friends, family, and support systems. Reach out and get multiple perspectives.

3. Clearly express how controlling behavior affects you, and explain specifically how you’d like it to change.

4. Start writing things down, and leave a paper trail. You can gain confidence by documenting events.

5. Don’t default to apologies if someone pushes you to agree with them. State your position and evidence.
