Manipulators and predators are everywhere! Unfortunately, most of us have found ourselves in the hands of a manipulator at least once in our lives. We often feel guilty and ashamed, telling ourselves we should have known better. Yet manipulators—especially those who are truly experts at their craft—can be exceedingly difficult to detect. Yet you can learn to notice manipulators' tactics and set boundaries when red flags arise. And if you've suffered at the hands of a manipulator, it's not your fault. If you've been manipulated, you deserve to heal and move forward with wisdom, self-compassion, and TLC. As this episode touches on sensitive information, listener discretion is advised.
