The Cycle of Psychological Manipulation
These stages are common patterns in emotional and narcissistic abuse.
Idealization / Love Bombing
Intense affection, attention, and promises. This creates emotional dependence before harmful behavior begins.
Devaluation
Warmth shifts into criticism, sarcasm, or subtle put-downs. Your self-esteem may slowly erode.
Isolation & Control
You may be pushed away from friends, family, or support systems, making control easier.
Gaslighting
Your reality is denied or rewritten, causing confusion, self-doubt, and dependence.
Discard & Hoovering
Sudden withdrawal or abandonment, followed by attempts to pull you back in with promises or affection.
