The Gaslighting Effect A Revealing Look at Psychological Manipulation and Narcissistic Abuse edition by Reva Steenbergen Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews

• As a Biblical Counselor who ministers to the
  abused, I find that Reva adds depth and color (experience) to intimate partner abuse. Reva’s experienced-base knowledge, merged with her well research information, is extremely helpful both for the abused and as well as for the counselor.
  
  Reva’s book is a helpful platform for a Biblical Counselor to reference in connecting scripture with the abused’ current experiences.
  
  Reva writes in a conversational tone, leaving her personal testimony to the end. Aside from lingering over areas that resonate with personal experiences, the book is a fast read.
  
  Intimate partner abuse is wide spread, even in Churches where unfortunately Pastors often fail to recognize the symptoms, and then will often incorrectly Counsel those who are suffering.
  
  Reva addresses this desperate need for awareness, because only through awareness can the generational cycle of intimate partner abuse be broken. Often intimate partner abused is traceable to the parent’s interpersonal behavior.
  
  You see, God gifts us to lean towards empathy and compassion for others. Unfortinately we are born to be shellfish (preservation dependency) and it’s up to parents to model “love” before their children. That doesn’t always happen.
  
  For parents (especially those “to be”), Reva’s book illuminates the behavioral thread that runs from empathy to shellfish self-centeredness to spousal control/abuse — the point being that parenting has generational consequences — can be either good or bad — good parenting is called “ambassadorship” parenting; bad parenting is “ownership” parenting.
  
  Reva’s focus on the bad is motivational for parents (to be) to model the good — that’s mutual “spousal love” and affection modeled before their children so their children will have learned “good parenting” to model before the next generation.
• The gas lighting effect is a great read for understanding and coping with narcissistic people. We are able to understand the first signs of narcissism such as the inability to relate with others which can then lead to something called the gas lighting effect. A horrifying reality to narcissist abuse. The author does an excellent job by listing and creating a simplified map to understanding the deeper issues of a narcissist. We are able to understand their thought patterns, how they see the world and how they see their victim. After reviewing this grim reality, the author leads readers into new hope. We are shown how to heal the traumas left by the narcissist in order to regain confidence and move on to living a happier healthier life.
• Over the last few years, much about narcissistic abuse has come to light and gaslighting has slowly entered our vocabulary. Reva’s book captured the feelings of what the abuse evokes in a more vivid way than I can recall seeing elsewhere. Reading the book brought to mind the situations of many friends who were victimized in a similar manner. Please read this and reccommend it to anyone you care about. The best time to read it is prior to abuse. Know what’s out there and be prepared. Reva, if you’re reading these, thank you for putting the time in to help people. You never know how many you’ll save. Thank you
• I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse, and I agree with one of the other reviewers It felt like Reva's words were written just for me. She describes exactly what happened to me the lies, the gaslighting, doing things to provoke emotional reactions that could be used against me, turning some of my friends against me and even recruiting a few of them to participate in the abuse, gaslighting the police and the legal system. I had so many questions of "Why did this happen to me?" and Reva answered every one of them. The book gave me a sense of closure I will never get from the woman who did these things to me. Well-written, well-researched, and very easy to read.
• This book is a must read for anyone in a abusive relationship and for their family and friends. It's an easy read to understand the emtional trammor and psychological torture brought on by narcissist abuse .
• I really like the first person perspective from Reva. To know someone with such a big heart live through such things and come out the other side with such a big heart gives me goosebumps. It is an easy understandable read and I highly recommend the book to ANYONE. Helps you put a lot things in ones life in focus. Congrats Reva on the book and bright future.
• This book is incredible. It really helps you understand the types of narcissists that are out there and how they think. It is well written as well as informative. It is very empowering.
• Well written. Easy to understand. Facts and experience to back it up. It was like reading my life story. I will be rereading.
