Common Forms Of Emotional Manipulation

We all experience emotional manipulation from time to time. Sometime, it’s harmless - for example, when a child pouts to get their way.

Other times, emotional manipulation can ruin lives. Recent Netflix show The Tinder Swindler illustrated a perfect example of what happens with emotional manipulation at its worst.

So what does emotional manipulation look like, and more importantly, what can we do when we’re being emotionally manipulated?

Recently, I spoke with Shape about the signs of emotional manipulation and how to protect yourself from a manipulative relationship.

Did you know there are different types of emotional manipulation, such as love-bombing and passive-aggression?

And that isolation (the manipulator separating their victim from their support system) is one of the most-utilized techniques of emotional manipulation?

To get the full backstory on emotional manipulation so that you don’t become a victim, check out the full article at Shape, here.
