“I am not to give myself explanations that divide me from myself, that take sides against myself, that would exact my consent, not attract it. That would cede my voice to isolation. Then I might never be found” (Cavell, Conditions Handsome and Unhandsome, 100).
Little has been written about the effect being the victim of gaslighting has on someone

This is just great. Is it part of something you're working on?

Yeah, I've been trying to think about what's so awful about gaslighting for awhile--I'm hoping to make it into a paper.
