Behavior Manipulation

Recognizing the cycle of extreme praise and sudden criticism is key to breaking free from emotional manipulation. This black-or-white thinking, known as splitting, is a tool used to keep you off-balance. A manipulator will put you on a pedestal only to abruptly devalue you. This isn't a sign of their unstable personality; it's a deliberate tactic to make you doubt your reality and constantly seek their approval, keeping you hooked on their validation.
