Content: 2. Using Manipulative Language
To gaslight is to “ manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity” – a deceptive tactic that sexual abusers almost always use to achieve their aims. Should the victim challenge the abuser’s actions, the abuser will resort to lying, verbal manipulation, guilt-tripping, and victimization. Gaslighting eventually leaves the victim feeling emotionally drained, helpless, and – most unfortunately – ridden with guilt. 3. Normalizing the Behavior
The cycle of sexual abuse having begun, the “honeymoon” emotions of attentiveness, care, and charm become less and less frequent. At this point, the vaguely uncomfortable feeling that something was wrong in the beginning is now apparent. Following normalization of unacceptable behavior, the abuser will begin with emotional and psychological exploitation – often culminating in sexually-abusive acts. Inspiration to your Inbox
4. Playing the Victim
Ironic though it may be, men and women who prey on the opposite sex possess a strong sense of victimization.
