Join me as I unpack eight ways truth can be manipulated and spun in relationships of all kinds. This episode peels back the curtain on eight cunning tactics people use to bend reality to their will, from the subtle art of playing the victim to the more insidious practice of gaslighting. It's an inside look at the grey areas of honesty that can undermine honor and integrity while leaving the recipient adrift in a sea of confusion and invalidation. The goal? To equip you with the clarity and insight needed to spot these deceptions and uphold your personal boundaries when interacting with others.This episode tackles not just the manipulative behaviors we might encounter from others, but also the ones we may unwittingly exhibit ourselves. It provides a toolkit for identifying tactics like comparison, minimization, and selective truth-telling, and offers strategies for responding with dignity and respect.  Here's to fostering healthier relationships and cultivating a more honest version of ourselves.
