  • Are you being manipulated? In this video, we dive into the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of emotional manipulation in relationships.
    Manipulative behaviour can be described as one person (the manipulator) using emotional exploitation and mental distortion to exert control or influence over another person. The manipulator’s tactics include gaslighting, lying, blaming, shame and criticising.
    Manipulation can happen in any relationship, including family, friends, romantic and professional. The effects of chronic manipulation on the person being manipulated include feelings of worthlessness, difficulty trusting others and loss of self-esteem.

    Super helpful, thank you Alex.
    I' ve recently returned to a semi-rural community and have been wanting to fit in, but there's one person I knew previously who decided otherwise. She has been spreading malicious gossip and overstepping my boundaries in very big way. What she doesn't know and is beginning to learn is that I've changed since I last knew her. I now feel I know who I am , and I'm not afraid to let other people know. I can take time over my responses and I don't have to be nasty and cruel with them. There are creative gentle ways to make a point :) I also finally accepted the fact that not everybody is going to like me, and to let that go and be free, which is the important part to me. It's been a slog, but with support from you and others I found it's possible.

    I have just left an emotionally manipulative relationship of 2.5 years. The very deep need that was met for me was physical affection without feeling objectified. It is insanely difficult for me to give that up. I am struggling through it and trying to do all the right things to feel the pain appropriately and understand how to meet this need in another way. Thank you for this video.

    For me its cash need _ survival need.
    Im a scapegoat my whole life _ people hire me because im a scapegoat_ ive never worked in n healhy work place_ in my opinion they dont to exist
    I can see the gleeny shine in their eyes when they make sight of me_ they even circle me _ literally_ and size me up like a cow. They all do rhe same thing_ really _ they all behave the same narky way _say rhe same naeky things _ try to trigger me in the same way_ like they think they got the operating manual of me.
    I learned in the last few years that its " scapegoating"
    I cant forget anything so its easy for me to flash card events to now categorize my experiences _ Im pretty sure my brain didnt get to prune _ I had to keep all nerve cells for survival _ thats the story and im sticking to it.

    I think I'll 🙂think about it
    Sorry for the joke but I'm not it close narcissistic relationships for years and decades...
    I'll listen to it second time
    PS I did
    I had it in the last few months... Somebody was trying to manipulate, not only emotionally... And I don't like it... I couldn't be the worse time for me... No, those not close relationships... I always kept my distance and tried to keep my distance... But timing was much worse than bad... and play on my feelings, emotions and overall empathy, sympathy, compassion... No... I can't allow to happen it again...
