The Slow Erosion: How Gaslighting Turns Into Self-Gaslighting

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we break down how gaslighting turns inward, becoming self-gaslighting that dismantles a person’s sense of reality and self-worth. We explore how survivors go from trusting their instincts to doubting their emotions, questioning their memories, minimizing harm, and assuming fault automatically — even after the abusive dynamic ends.This conversation connects gaslighting to identity erosion, self-blame, memory doubt, survival mode, and people-pleasing — and explains why self-gaslighting isn’t weakness, but a learned survival response.If you’ve ever wondered how you lost trust in yourself, this episode puts language to that process — and shows where clarity begins.Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at [email protected] on the title to read about Self Gaslighting & Why You Doubt Your RealitySign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
