Are you feeling guilty, confused, or emotionally drained by someone who claims to love you? This video breaks down the subtle signs of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and victim-playing that leave good-hearted people feeling taken advantage of. If your partner or ex keeps asking for help, guilt-tripping you, or making you feel obligated to rescue them, you may be dealing with manipulation—not love. Donna Barnes, the love coach and host of the Broken to Brave podcast, explains how to recognize controlling behavior, set healthy boundaries, and stop letting needy or manipulative partners drain your energy. If you're exhausted from always giving and never receiving, this video will help you trust your instincts and take your power back.Sign up for Virtual Coaching with me: https://www.donnabarnes.com/virtual-coaching/Visit my new store: https://www.donnabarnes.online/#EmotionalManipulation#GaslightingAwareness#RelationshipAdviceDonna Barnes is an New York University Certified Love Coach, Breakup Specialist, Podcast Host, and Author of Giving Up Junk-Food Relationships: Recipes for Healthy Choices. https://amzn.to/3gFykPS💔 Ready to become the best version of yourself?👉 Breakup Recovery Program https://www.donnabarnes.com/breakup-recovery/ — 10+ HOURS of expert coaching videos, quizzes, and checklists to help you heal and move forward stronger than ever.
