Summary

Join us on Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, as we unravel the complex abuse manipulation tactic known as plausible deniability. Through a thoughtful examination of its origins, we illustrate how abusers meticulously plan their actions to maintain deniability and avoid accountability. Explore the intricacies of plausible deniability, where the abuser's power of suggestion can lead victims down a path of altered behavior and eroded self-esteem, without ever making a direct demand. Learn how abusers craft comments and insinuations that push their partners to change, all while maintaining a facade of innocence. This conversation sheds light on the sophisticated psychological tactics abusers employ to keep their partners ensnared in a web of control.

0:00.0	On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, everyone.
0:33.1	I am Brandon Chadwick, and today we're going to be discussing the abuse manipulation tactic
0:39.7	called plausible deniability.
0:42.5	But before we get to that, if you want to be a guest on our Survivor's Story episodes,

1:17.8	plausible deniability and abusers and what was interesting to me when I was diving into this topic
1:26.7	was that I found that many of the videos and articles
1:30.7	that you read on the internet have really co-opted the actual definition of plausible
1:38.0	deniability. And many of us, including myself, have been using it incorrectly, or I believe that we've been
1:46.6	using it incorrectly. So today, we're going to try and redefine what it means specifically
1:54.8	how I think it should be used. And this is my opinion. And so the definition that most of us here that I think is
2:02.4	incorrect, and that is in day-to-day situations, people believe plausible deniability involves
2:08.1	demonstrating that little to no evidence exists to prove guilt. If not enough evidence exists to
2:15.8	prove guilt, then innocence must be presumed.
2:19.8	So in this definition, plausible deniability refers to there being any reasonable chance,
2:28.2	something didn't happen in a certain way, and that a person might not have a not too bad excuse, and I do that in quotes,
