Psychological manipulation thrives inĀ intimacy. Itās a close, familiar way of using others that requires vulnerability to work well. Because intimate relationships all come with a level of vulnerability, they are the perfect breeding ground for this form of manipulation.
Many psychological manipulators are family members, close friends, or romantic partnersāthese relationships give them an opportunity to build trust and later use that trust as a stepping stone to abuse.

Psychological manipulators rarely, if ever, take responsibility for their actions to their victimsāto do so would damage their credibility and cause doubt in the abusive relationship. Most manipulators will adopt a self-righteous attitude with their victims, often centered on how they have been āwrongedā by that person in some way, and they will typically excuse their behaviors as retribution for how they have been treated. Their golden rule is simple: If you donāt give me what I want, I am entitled to treat you any way I choose.

Psychological manipulators despise boundaries. Their ultimate goal is power and control, and firm boundaries interfere greatly with that goal. To that end, they become skilled at testing and violating othersā boundariesāusually starting with small limits and working their way up as they become more accomplished.
Manipulators ensure that this is a slow-burn process. By subtly testing what works and what does not, they will learn how to cross othersā boundaries without being stopped.

Psychological manipulators are masters at getting others to question their own reality. This often occurs in the form of telling blatant lies that border on unbelievable or countering a victimāsĀ memoryĀ of events. When paired with the abuserās refusal to accept responsibility for their actions, this technique can be destructive.
GaslightingĀ can be difficult to pinpoint because itās a gradual process that undermines the sanity of its victims. Many individuals who use this tactic work very hard to convince their victims they are too sensitive or are making a big deal out of nothing.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
