🎙️ Breaking the Silence: Understanding Emotional Manipulation 🎙️
In this episode of Love Affair With Myself, we're diving into the emotionally charged topic of the silent treatment—a powerful yet often overlooked form of emotional manipulation. Have you ever found yourself on the receiving end of silence, wondering what you did wrong? 🤔
