Publisher's Synopsis
Manipulation is hidden aggression. Identify covert tactics for self-protection.
In this book, I identify many common tactics that you may be intimately and sadly familiar with, complete with real life examples for each to help you identify them in your daily life.
What emotionally manipulative tactics will you learn to identify and stop?
- Gaslighting and telling you that your concern is an overreaction, or quite simply wrong.
- How the silent treatment is used as punishment and forces compliance.
- Playing the victim and how it transforms your issues into guilt and pity.
- Your abuser's time machine and how they use it to their advantage.
More importantly:
- An analysis of the psychology behind why your partner acts the way they do... and why you stay.
- Guidelines for how to deal with a partner that is your manipulator and abuser.
- Why your abuser loves controlling you, not necessarily you.
