Carol the Coach interviews "Gaslighting Expert"  Ross Rosenberg about this phenomena that frequently occurs in the relationship with the sex addict and his/her spouse. Gaslighting is a complex and well-thought out brainwashing strategy utilized by highly manipulative narcissists. Gaslighters control victims by systematically manipulating them into identifying with and feeling no control over an implanted psychological problem. The resulting distress, insecurity and paranoia creates even lower self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness, while compelling them to isolate even further and seek protection from the gaslighter. They are, therefore, trapped in a double bind from which it is difficult to escape. Find out more about this technique so that you can stop it if it occurs in your life!
