Emotional manipulation
Naming tactics without needing to prove anything to anyone.
Emotional manipulation can look like guilt-tripping, silent treatment, blame-shifting, or making you feel responsible for someone else's emotions. You don't need to build a case or convince anyone — this is just for you.
What's a moment you left a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or responsible for something that wasn't yours?
Looking back now, what actually happened in that conversation?
What do you wish you'd been able to say for yourself in that moment?
