Gaslighting (Minimizing, Denying, Blaming) in Coercive Control, Domestic Violence, Abuse, and Relationships – Part 2: Continuing My Exploration of Manipulation in my Father’s Correspondence
Manage episode 474644191 series 3637213
In this episode, I continue analyzing past correspondence between myself and the abuser, focusing on the tactics of minimizing, denying, and blaming. I break down how these strategies are used to distort reality, shift responsibility, and keep targets trapped in cycles of self-doubt and confusion. By examining these patterns, I aim to bring clarity to the emotional and psychological impact of coercive control within abusive relationships.
