Spiritually, no. Growing up, yes. The aftermath still affects me today.

I lived with someone who gaslighted me on just about everything. It was awful.
I'm not sure it worked on a spiritual level, though. He could convince me that I was a useless piece of garbage, but he was never able to get me to turn from my religious convictions(though he wanted to).

That has been my experience as well, just like when democrats claimed requiring ID to vote is racist. Also when people claim personal stories and experiences about negative reactions to covid vaccines is misinformation, happens all the time.
I'll go with the one used in the book & movie.That's not the definition of gaslighting.
"psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator"
