2. Are They Manipulative or Just Forgetful?

In this episode I wanted to explore one of the questions I hear frequently and used to struggle with myself.  That is, “Did they intentionally do that or was that an accident?” Sometimes people with toxic behaviors are expertly covert and can manipulate while seeming like they just don’t know better, or that it was just a misunderstanding.  This can cause a lot of confusion because it keeps you in the dark, makes you question your own reality and has a way of making you feel crazy.  Learn to trust your instincts.  In this episode I talk about things to look for that can help clear up some of the confusion.   Toxic people like to keep you in a state of confusion because it makes it easier for you to accept the responsibility for their behaviors.  Stop guessing and second questioning yourself.  Learn some of the signs to help you recognize when their behaviors are actually intentional manipulative tactics.  www.InnerSourceTherapy.com
