NICABM – Strategies To Help Clients Heal From Patterns Of Gaslighting And Manipulation
How to Work with Gaslighting and Manipulation
The Hard-to-Recognize Emotional Abuse That Isolates, Confuses, and Undercuts Your Client’s Self-Worth
Gaslighting and manipulation is profoundly disorienting. When it’s happening, it can feel to your client like they’re caught in a confusing maze where reality constantly shifts.
Disturbingly, it’s not long before they’re left second-guessing their instincts, doubting their memories, and even questioning their sanity as the manipulator systematically undermines their confidence and sense of self.
The thing is, attempts to help your client come to grips with what’s happening can backfire. That’s because it’s such an insidious experience – one that’s often masked by the manipulator’s charm or feigned concern.
So to navigate the complexities of working with a client who’s being gaslit or manipulated, here’s just some of what you need to know:
- The subtle signs that your client is being gaslit or manipulated
- The (perhaps counterintuitive) link between manipulation and anxiety
- Trauma-informed strategies you can use with clients who’ve been gaslit or manipulated
We get into all of that and more with 18 of the top minds in the field in this brand new course . . .
