This is also known as gas-lighting \u2013 based on a Hitchcock film where Ingrid Bergman was made to feel crazy by her husband. What I am going to talk about is what to do and how to recognize when someone is intentionally keeping you feel off-balance or pushing your buttons to make you into the bad guy. It\u2019s a control tactic, and it\u2019s extremely cruel \u2013 not to mention, when done overtime it can make you believe you can\u2019t trust your own instincts. You will start to lose a connection to your own gut instincts because someone is making you believe that they might be wrong, consistently over time. It can stall you from actually reaching the solution to an issue, and even blind you to real and dangerous truths happening right in front of you \u2013 on a greater and greater scale. Because over a long period of time \u2013 no matter how rational and confident you start out, eventually you catch \u201cthe sickness\u201d of the manipulative behavior. Long story short \u2013 it\u2019s DANGEROUS and NOT COOL and you shouldn\u2019t be tolerating it or be around it \u2013 at all. This is an episode to give you a starting point for helping yourself out of this situation. Three parts \u2013 what why and how, the tools.
