This is perhaps the most important area of Emotional Manipulation because of the constancy of its influence in our lives.

Our partners and spouses influence us in dynamic ways, subtle ways, overt ways and covert ways.

In order to maintain mental clarity about the accuracy of the reality we share with them, and maintain the health of our own ego structure, we must determine if their picture of the events in our lives together make sense, are real, and are truthful.

We must also discern for ourselves or with professional help, how their descriptions and labels of us as people are accurate or skewed by their own projection and denial, deliberate undermining of us, guilting, victimizing and the employment of other manipulative tactics.

Here are twelve manipulation tactics: Charm, Reason, Coercion, Silent Treatment, Debasement, Regression, Responsibility Invocation, Reciprocity, Monetary Rewards, Pleasure Induction, Social Comparison, and Hardball (an amalgam of threats, lies and violence.)

If you’ve been undergoing these kinds of abuse, threats or manipulations, please seek professional guidance in how to detach yourself permanently from the emotional manipulator in your life, increase your survivor awareness, and learn the tools of the survivor.

These techniques are the topic for our next show. There are viable ways to stop being the target of an emotional manipulator and take back control of your life.

Here’s this week’s lesson to take away … if any of the tactics mentioned in the last three shows sound too familiar to you, listen to the shows again and note which ones ring true.

This week for homework note in your journal any of the following tools of emotional manipulators: Guilt Trip, Victimization, Word Manipulation, Cognitive Distortions, Gas Lighting, Dependencies, Narcissism, Entitlement, Covert Badgering, Overt Badgering, Hiding Behind a Mask, Irritability, Triangulation, Pretending to be Ill or Suicidal, Provocative Behavior, Constantly Misunderstood, Disappointed, Attacking Self Esteem after Making You Special, Smoke Screen, and Enticements.
