How does Christianity view gaslighting?
Upvote:8
Gaslighting is widely recognised by Christians as a technique of emotional abuse:
- What Is Gaslighting? Understanding the Warning Signs and Way of Escape - christianity.com
- What is gaslighting? - gotquestions.org
- How to know if you're in an emotional abusive relationship - Focus on the Family
- How to Think Straight When the Gaslighter Is Gaslighting You - Biblical Counseling Coalition
- Gaslighting in Relationships: Recognizing and Responding to Extreme Emotional Abuse - Tacoma Christian Counseling
It's also been observed that theological gaslighting is a form of spiritual abuse:
- Theological Gaslighting as Spiritual Abuse - Christianity Today
- Gaslighting in a world of Spiritual Abuse - Eternity News
I haven't been able to find much about what the Catholic Church specifically says about gaslighting - most of the Google results are instead about abusers within the Catholic Church who have gaslit others (accusations that are no doubt warranted in many cases.) While there are hypocrites and abusers in all denominations, there are also many people truly seeking to follow God and help others. There are many Catholic Counselling services around the world with licensed counsellors who would be able to help a victim of gaslighting. Here's one example from a counselling centre which briefly mentions gaslighting.
