I agree it’s overused, especially because the use of gaslighting is malicious and can have long lasting psychological consequences for the victims. Not something to be downplayed.

The funny thing is my therapist did actually rearrange the furniture in her office since I was there last and she didn’t say anything about it when I walked in. But I just asked her why she moved things around and she had a valid answer. Something about an ADL or ADA client. Not sure what that is but it seemed legit.
