In this gripping episode of Women of Impact, I want you to think about how much your own words or insecurities, pains and traumas have been used against you to keep you under control.
Today, I’m joining forces with psychologist Mariel Buque to tackle the topic of manipulation head-on. Mariel, who went through a two-year grieving process after escaping a toxic relationship herself, shares her insights on shutting down toxic people. From recognizing the signs of manipulation to standing up for yourself without losing control, Mariel doubles down on the kind of advice that can help you finally break these toxic cycles.
“We may never actually get any kind of ‘I’m sorry’, any kind of validation for our experiences, and so what we need to do is move on and find ourselves yet again.” -Mariel Buque
Discover the tricks and tactics of controlling partners, the impact of gaslighting, and effective strategies to reclaim your power. If you're tired of being manipulated and want to break free from toxic cycles, this episode is a must-listen.
And be sure to check out part 2 of this life-changing conversation. We move from unpacking the control game manipulators play to setting up manipulator proof boundaries that will help you move accordingly once you’re free.
