In this episode, we take a deeper dive into emotional manipulation — the subtle but powerful tactics that make survivors question their reality. We explore how phrases like “You’re too sensitive” or “That never happened” slowly chip away at your trust in yourself, leaving you dependent on the abuser’s version of the truth.

We also break down other forms of manipulation including blame-shifting, guilt-tripping, projection, and the silent treatment and how they’re used to control, confuse, and isolate.
