Hi, Peeps. Help Me be Me is underfunded and needs your help. If you enjoy listening to this or it helps you at all,

It's about when others use manipulation

to make you weaker or confused or just off balance.

This is also known as gas lighting and it's based on the Hitchcock film where Ingrid

Bergman was made to feel crazy by her husband.

So what I am going to talk about is what to do and how to recognize when somebody is intentionally keeping you off balance or pushing your buttons to make you into the bad guy because it's a control tactic and it's extremely cruel not to mention when done over time it can make you believe you can't trust your own instincts

You will start to lose a connection to your own gut and because you actually can't see the real problem, you can't actually find a solution.

So it'll actually blind you to the real dangerous truth of what is happening right in front of you on a greater

and greater scale.

Because over a long period of time, no matter how rational and confident you start out, eventually you catch the sickness of the manipulative behavior.

So long story short, it's dangerous and not cool and you shouldn't be tolerating it or

be around it at all. This is an episode to give you a

starting point for helping yourself out of the situation. Without further ado, there are three

parts, the what, the why, and the how, the tools.
