Can you please recommend a book (or something else) which has been the most helpful for you to see manipulation/ gaslighting for what it is?
I would like to learn how to:
- spot red flags early on
- stop putting other people's needs above mine
- be able to leave if I'm not happy
- set clear boundaries
- start believing in my own feelings rather than in what others say I should feel.
For some reason I can't do it well and I attract manipulators and users but what is worse, is that I believe them more than I believe myself.
I have had a counselling a few years ago but it seems I'm back to the square one so I'm looking for something I will be able to refer to when I need.
If you came across anything useful, would you mind sharing it with us all?
