This information is discussed in detail in Ross’s Chicago seminar, “Healing The Inner Trauma Child”:
In this video Ross explains that adult gaslighting requires a Human Magnet Syndrome driven relationship with a Pathological Narcissist with sociopathic traits, and a person with Self-Love Deficit Disorder/SLDD (codependency). He explains that the narcissist gaslighter purposely looks for a Self-Love Deficit/SLD (codependent) person who experienced gaslighting in their childhood.
A child from a pathologically narcissistic parent is groomed to abandon their innocently accurate reality for that which was implanted by their narcissistic parent. The child learns that if she can suspend reality and replace it with her narcissistic parent’s gaslit narrative, she might get scraps of love, respect, attention, and caring. By understanding the origins of gaslighting, SLD’s can heal that trauma responsible from it.

😊🍀❤thank you for this!!
How the bloody heck do I find people in general, who aren't what you're describing? I left a antisocial,malignant person, it was really bad relationship! I really don't want to live the rest of my life doing this insanity that I've been doing?
I must say listening to you had blown me away. You explain it ,so well. I understand your theory on why my friend is like this.
Gaslighting is the reason people commit suicide.
No, true empathy is not you walking in anothers shoes…
It's the removal of YOU, and the integration of the other, their environment, their past, and taking perspective entirely from their point.
This video is making me feel a lot more hopeless about my own recovery then I would like to…
This video is too much to handle
Bur my parents were good people… I know they were trying their hardest to be the best thing they thought was right…
I was gaslighted by my whole
family, especially my mom, all
my life, so I'm cutting ties with
my family as soon as I land my first
job after I graduate. #FREEme
Thx cried all the way through…already finally found a therapy that works for me…..x
