Are you feeling crazy after a breakup? The intense emotional upheaval that follows breaking up with a manipulative partner is insane. Many people find themselves questioning their sanity and grapple with self-blame and confusion—emotions often amplified by their ex-partners' toxic behaviors.

This episode explores the cycle of manipulation. I explore a few key concepts:

• Shifting Blame: Toxic partners frequently evade accountability by shifting blame onto their victims.
• Emotional Chaos: They maintain control through creating an environment filled with emotional chaos.
• Unclear Boundaries: These partners often blur relationship boundaries, making it difficult for victims to understand what constitutes acceptable behavior.
