Well, hello and welcome to this week's episode

of the Terry Cole Show that I wanna start with a question.

Have you ever been or are you now in a relationship

with someone that you know if you do not do what they want?

They will find a way overtly or covertly

to make you suffer in some way, right?

Where fear, obligation and guilt are present for you

for you and they're kind of your driving reason

for complying with this other person.

If you're not in your head, if this sounds familiar,

then today's episode on emotional blackmail is for you.

In this episode, I'm gonna be covering what it is

and how to spot it so that you can stop

leaving yourself vulnerable to these types of bad actors

as we call them.

So I just wanna take a moment to say thank you so much

for being here.

I super, duper appreciate you

and that I'm not doing this podcast into a void.

I really appreciate that you are here

because you could be doing anything today.

But the fact that you're hanging out with me
