No not really. Gaslighting has an intent to deceive someone to pull them away from reality. CBT starts with the assumption by both people that the patient is away from reality and gives them tools to bring them closer. Gaslighting is like trying to convince a healthy person they’re fat (and giving them an eating disorder in the process) while CBT is like giving a fat person practices to manage appetite.

- hunkiry 3y agoI believe OP is trying to suggest that if you're well adjusted to the current world, you're the one who is deluded. And therefore, any method to change your perspective is forcing a delusion. Gas lighting. The fat person in your metaphor is actually fit, surrounded by unhealthy skinny people who have been convinced they are fit.
