Episode 14: Love-Bombing, Breadcrumbing, and Stonewalling — The Manipulation Tactics of AbusersAbuse does not always leave bruises. Sometimes it hides in patterns that confuse and control: love-bombing, breadcrumbing, and stonewalling. These tactics can feel like passion, mystery, or just 'space,' but in reality, they are tools of manipulation.In this episode, best-selling author and board-certified brain and mental health coach Coach Gigi breaks down these three tactics through both psychology and Scripture, showing how they distort love and starve the soul. With honesty and hope, she reminds you that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.Plus, Gigi shares two exciting new book projects:- My Body Is God’s Gift: a children’s book teaching kids the value of their bodies, safe touch, and honoring God.- Withholding Love: When Intimacy Becomes a Weapon: exploring how intimacy can be twisted into control, and how God calls us to real love that heals.If this spoke to you, save it, share it, and follow to stay connected.Need help?
