Recognizing and Reclaiming Autonomy in Relationships
Examples and stories illustrate how to recognize manipulative behaviors in narcissistic relationships, empowering individuals to understand they are not the problem. This understanding helps them identify moments where they feel confused or unjustly blamed, ultimately guiding them to name these behaviors. A critical aspect highlighted is the struggle to maintain autonomy, as manipulative partners often deny this freedom. Love bombing serves as a manipulation tactic, manifesting in both grand gestures and simple acts, complicating the perception of affection and control within the relationship.
