Episode 61: Highway to Hell:
The Tool Box Killers
One thing we talk about a lot on this podcast is the vulnerability of being taken advantage of. As if it isn’t bad enough harming or murdering someone who didn’t see it coming, imagine if you dedicated your life to manipulating them? Today we talk about two men that teamed up with a sick goal they were determined to reach.
Conjure Tip of The Week
Today I want to talk about the 4 stages of manipulation:
The first stage is Flattery, when the person who manipulates puts on a facade of being kind, caring, and helpful.
The second stage is Isolation. This is when the person who manipulates may start to isolate you from your friends and family. They might try to convince you that your loved ones don’t understand you or want to control you.
The third stage is Devaluing and gaslighting. Someone who manipulates may try to make you feel guilty or confused.The purpose of this stage is to make you doubt yourself, your instincts, and your decisions.
The last stage is Fear or violence. This is when the person who manipulates may begin to threaten you. They may threaten to leave you, hurt you, or hurt themselves as a way of keeping you under their control with fear.
Staying vigilant and remembering these signs can save your life or someone you may know.
