They find ways to convince you that you are unworthy and unlovable so that you seek love and worth from them instead of looking anywhere else. It is a manipulative tactic they use to keep you down so that they can also be the hero to bring you up.

0:00.0 | Welcome to Love and Abuse, the show about helping you identify poisonous communication and toxic behavior. |
0:07.4 | You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. |
0:10.9 | That's why it's important that you learn to pinpoint manipulative and controlling behavior so that you keep your power and your sanity. |

0:31.2 | Music power and your sanity. I'm your host, Paul Koliani. Welcome to love and abuse. |
0:33.7 | All the information on this show is meant for educational purposes only. |
0:38.4 | Always seek a professional for your mental health and well-being, and always pick your battles wisely. Someone asked me |
