Ep. 106 How Societal Gaslighting, Love Bombing, and Manipulation Became Cultural Norms

The same manipulation tactics narcissists use in relationships operate at every level of society. In this episode, we explore how gaslighting, love bombing, scarcity tactics, and manufactured dependency show up in marketing, politics, institutions, and the systems we navigate daily.

You'll learn to:

  • Recognize societal gaslighting that makes you doubt your own perception of reality
  • Understand how brands use love bombing and intermittent reinforcement to create emotional dependency
  • See through artificial scarcity and the illusion of choice that prevent thoughtful decision-making
  • Spot triangulation tactics used to keep people divided and competing instead of organizing collectively

We break down how these patterns work in abusive relationships, then examine how they show up in corporate marketing, political campaigns, workplace structures, and social media platforms. Once you recognize these tactics in one area of life, you'll start seeing them everywhere.

This isn't about paranoia. It's about pattern recognition. And that awareness becomes your power.
