Well, hello there and welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole show that I want to start

with a question.

Have you ever been guilt tripped in your relationships with your mother, with your siblings,

with your partner, where they're basically saying after everything I've done for you,

I need you to do this thing for me.

Or do you have someone who is very flattering to you, telling you how wonderful you are,

and then moments later they're hitting you up for something?

Any of that sound familiar?

Because both of those things are emotional manipulation tactics and in today's episode

I'm going to be sharing with you the top most common emotional manipulation tactics out

there that are being used and I'm also going to guide you to why you might be being victimized

in this way or why you might be a target for emotional manipulation and what you can

do about it.

Before we get into today's actual episode, I just want to say, hey, thanks for being here.

As always, if you don't know me, if you're new to this podcast and you're like, wow, I just

got here.

Well, hi.

I'm Terry.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist and a relationship expert and I wrote a book called Boundary

Boss and you can get it at BoundaryBossBook.com or anywhere, fine books are sold.

And again, you guys just, you could be doing anything, but you're here.

And I love that you're here and that we're here together.
