Resorting to childhood tactics
If a person was neglected as a child and had to resort to gaslighting techniques to get attention, they may continue to do so as an adult, explains Holcomb. “This individual may have been influenced by dysfunctional dynamics of receiving attention, and resort to gaslighting techniques involving emotional stonewalling.” She says this can sometimes include giving the silent treatment, rather than communicating when upset, but states that these tactics “Are actually emotionally abusive in nature.”
