The video “Gaslighting Tactics and Types You Should Avoid” by Psych2Go is a helpful resource for those who may be experiencing gaslighting or want to learn more about it. The video begins by explaining what gaslighting is and where the term comes from and then goes on to discuss the different types of gaslighters and the tactics they use.
One of the strengths of the video is that it acknowledges that gaslighting can occur in many types of relationships, not just romantic ones. This is an important point, as gaslighting can happen in friendships, family relationships, and even in the workplace.
The video then goes on to explain the three types of gaslighters: the Intimidator, the Glamor Gaslighter, and the Good Guy Gaslighter. For each type, the video provides examples of the tactics they use to manipulate and undermine their victims.
The Intimidator, for example, will openly belittle and misconstrue the victim’s words, while the Glamor Gaslighter will shower the victim with love and gifts but never address deeper issues in the relationship. The Good Guy Gaslighter, on the other hand, will make it seem like they are doing the victim a favour but will actually sabotage them in subtle ways.
One potential weakness of the video is that it does not provide specific advice on how to deal with gaslighting. While it is helpful to identify the different types of gaslighters and their tactics, viewers may be left wondering what they can do if they are being gaslighted.
Despite this, the video is a valuable resource for those who want to learn more about gaslighting and how to identify it. The information provided is clear and concise, and the video is well-produced and engaging.
Overall, “Gaslighting Tactics and Types You Should Avoid” is a helpful video that provides a good introduction to gaslighting and the different types of gaslighters. While it could benefit from more specific advice on how to deal with gaslighting, it is still a valuable resource for those who want to learn more about this insidious form of manipulation.
