In this episode of Break the Psycle Podcast, we explore the twisted world of manipulation — its history, its many forms, and whether it’s always as bad as it sounds. From the origins of gaslighting (shoutout to the 1938 play Gas Light) to the emotional maneuvers that make us question reality, we break down how manipulation shows up in everyday life. We’ll dive into emotional manipulation (ever heard of guilt trips?), social manipulation (hello, propaganda), and whether some forms of influence are actually harmless — or even helpful. Join us for a deep dive into how manipulation works, why it’s everywhere, and how to tell if you’re being played (or maybe doing a little playing yourself).
