Is there a list of red flag behaviours anywhere?

Suspect (but don’t know) that friend’s boyfriend may be a toxic influence. Her self esteem has bern tumbling since they got together. Is there a post on here or website somewhere with a list of emotionally manipulative red flags that might help her see if he’s a part of the picture here?
I don’t mean just physical abuse or obvious coercion here, more subtle emotional passive aggressive type stuff that chips away.

Thanks

There is a very good book called 'In Control' by Jane Monckton Smith, which sets out the escalating stages of toxic relationships based on her research. Eye opening.
