How can I recognize gaslighting in my workplace?

Gaslighting in the workplace can manifest as persistent denial of your experiences, manipulation of facts, or undermining your confidence. Are you experiencing specific behaviors that concern you?

Yes, my manager often dismisses my contributions and makes me doubt my abilities.

That sounds troubling. Dismissing contributions and instilling self-doubt are common gaslighting tactics. Have you noticed any patterns or specific incidents?

It happens frequently during team meetings, and I feel isolated.

Feeling isolated is a significant red flag. It's important to document these incidents and consider discussing them with HR or a trusted colleague.

What steps can I take to address this situation?

You can start by keeping a record of incidents, seeking support from colleagues, and preparing to have a direct conversation with your manager or HR.
