Gaslight - "Don't fret, precious, I'm here..."



Pra não dizer que nunca falei de Gaslighting. 
Mas curioso que a representação do parceiro abusivo sempre se dá em termos do sexo masculino. 
Concordo, somos mais grotescos e safados.
Entretanto, tanto em casa como no trabalho, 
penso - aqui com os meus botões - que o abuso maior é feito pelo sexo feminino. De mulher a mulher. É entre as próprias mulheres que se dão as piores situações, visto a competição e inveja entre as mesmas.

Segue um texto em inglês que fala sobre Gaslighting no trabalho:

The next stage is defense: where you are defending yourself against the gaslighter's manipulation. Think about it—you tell your boss, for example, you are unhappy with the assignments you have been getting; you feel you are being wrongly passed over for the best assignments. You ask him why this is happening. Instead of addressing the issue, he tells you that you are way too sensitive and way too stressed..... well, maybe you are sensitive and stressed, but, that doesn't answer the question of why you are being passed over for these better assignments. But, rather than leave it at that, or redirect the conversation, you start defending yourself, telling your boss you are not that sensitive or stressed, or, that the stress doesn't interfere with your ability to work. But, during this stage, you are driven crazy by the conversation.... going over and over, like an endless tape, in your mind.
