Show Notes
Hosts: Nique Crews, C.L. Butler, Nateisha & Yusuf
Topic: Manipulation
On today’s episode of RSP, the team is joined by guest blogger, K. Antoinette, and they discuss different forms of manipulation in relationships. Is “manipulation” always negative? The team discusses the denotative and connotative meanings of the word, and they determine that it depends on motive. If a person is using malice to manipulate, then it’s a form of emotional abuse. They discuss passive-aggressive behavior and how the silent treatment leads to gaslighting. These behaviors are not limited to romantic relationships. K. Antoinette says she confronts supervisors who use passive aggression in their leadership style. Yusuf says that he recognizes that his response to situations can be seen as gaslighting even though he doesn’t want to hurt anyone with his approach. Professor Tee discusses how language such as “Here we go again,” and “What did I do now,” interrupts the possibility of resolution. Tune in to this episode to dissect the topic of manipulation, and be sure to leave your thoughts and comments on the RSP Facebook or Instagram page.
