I haven't come across any psychological abuse or aggressive yelling from Mooji, so can't really comment on that, but am quite interested to find out more about gaslighting. I have read up on it and can see how some self-inquiry / advaita teachings could get seen as gaslighting. Like if someone has an agitation or irritation feeling in satsang, and then someone else might say, "It's nothing. It's just resistance from your ego." I'd love to have a robust discussion with someone on this subject who knows about gaslighting. I myself have had such agitation and have seen its just something that passes (like everything else), but I can also totally see how this feeling being seemingly invalidated as nothing could be seen as gaslighting. Not sure this forum is the place to discuss this though ;-)

I don't think this because of Mooji's group. I can't post on any of the teachers, and friends form the US also not. Maybe there is something wrong with the site?

Yes, indeed.

Yes, indeed.
