Manipulation isn’t always obvious. It can involve someone getting their needs met while making it seem like it’s in your best interest.
Narcissistic people often do this. They frame their wants and needs as though they’re doing you a favor while disregarding your actual needs. Recognizing this pattern is the first step in protecting yourself.
In the February 24th episode of Being Well, Dr. Ramani Durvasula joins me to break down manipulation, gaslighting, and how to set boundaries with narcissistic people.
The episode is titled Protecting Yourself from Narcissistic People with Dr. Ramani Durvasula, and you can watch it here:
