Emotional manipulation can damage one's mental health from "summary" of Manipulação Emocional by Anderson Oliveira
The manipulation of emotions is a powerful tool that can have profound effects on an individual's mental well-being. When someone is constantly subjected to manipulation, whether it be through guilt-tripping, gaslighting, or other tactics, it can lead to a deterioration of their mental health. Repeated emotional manipulation can erode a person's self-esteem and sense of self-worth. Constantly being made to doubt oneself and one's emotions can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. This can result in anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Furthermore, emotional manipulation can cause a person to question their own reality. Gaslighting, for example, involves manipulating someone into doubting their own perceptions and memories. This can lead to confusion, self-doubt, and a sense of powerlessness. In addition, emotional manipulation can create a cycle of dependence and control. The manipulator may use tactics such as love-bombing or intermittent reinforcement to keep the victim hooked. This can lead to a toxic and unhealthy dynamic that is difficult to break free from.- Emotional manipulation can have a detrimental impact on one's mental health. It is important to recognize the signs of manipulation and to take steps to protect oneself from its harmful effects. Seeking support from trusted friends, family members, or mental health professionals can be crucial in overcoming the damaging effects of emotional manipulation.
