Questions readers ask

Common questions.

What is gaslighting?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that makes you doubt your own memory, perception, or judgment. It is usually done in patterns — small denials, rewritten conversations, or being told your feelings are the real problem — until you stop trusting yourself.
How do I know if I was gaslit?
Common signs include constantly second-guessing yourself, apologizing for things you didn't do, feeling confused after conversations, and needing to record or write things down to prove them to yourself later. The poems here try to name that experience in language you can hand to someone else.
What helps me trust my own memory again?
Time, distance, and other witnesses. Writing things down as they happen. Working with a trauma-informed therapist. Reading accounts from other survivors — which is one thing this reading list is for.
