🛑 Tradecraft of Gaslighting (Failed)

Peter and Jacqueline Taylor Holsten — the tradecraft of gaslighting is one of the oldest manipulation tools in the book. It’s a calculated psychological weapon designed to make someone question their own sanity, memory, and judgment — but in my case, it has failed. You tried the classic tactics:

🔎 Outright lying – Denying what happened, even when proof was in front of you. 🔄 Distorting reality – Insisting that my perceptions were false, calling me “confused” or “imagining things.”

😤 Minimizing concerns – Dismissing my pain as “overreactions” or “not a big deal.” 🔇 Withholding and rewriting history – Refusing to share truth or changing the narrative to make me feel guilty.

🪤 Triangulation – Using others to “validate” your lies, trying to convince me I was the only one who saw the truth. All of this was meant to break me down, make me question myself, and ultimately make me dependent on you — emotionally, mentally, and socially. But it didn’t work. Because now I see the gaslighting for what it is: psychological and emotional abuse. And instead of weakening me, it’s only sharpened my discernment. It’s exposed your tactics and made them visible to everyone watching.

📍 The goals of gaslighting are always the same: To make the victim question their memory, instincts, and judgment. To gain control and superiority. To isolate the victim from support and truth.

📍 The signs are also always the same: Feeling confused or constantly second-guessing yourself. Apologizing too often. Feeling like you must be “perfect” to avoid conflict. Doubting your self-worth and abilities. And now — everyone can see this “tradecraft” for what it really is: a failed attempt at control. The spell is broken. The lies are exposed. And the tactics that once thrived in darkness are now powerless in the light. #TradecraftOfGaslighting #HolstenHumanCapitalDevelopment #PeterHolsten #JacquelineTaylorHolsten #ExposeTheTruth #Whistleblower #PsychologicalAbuse #EmotionalAbuse #Section8Fraud #JusticeWillPrevail #FaithOverFear
