This reflective self-awareness tool is designed to help individuals identify signs of emotional manipulation in relationships, conflicts, or uncomfortable dynamics. The checklist is divided into four key areas: emotional Pressure and control, Mental Confusion and gaslighting, Performance and Image Management, and Boundary Violation. This makes spotting unhealthy patterns that may otherwise be dismissed or minimised is easier.
This resource helps clarify confusing interactions and encourages emotional safety by ticking off experiences that resonate with you. It includes a guided Reflection Prompt to deepen self-insight, asking users to consider what they’ve tolerated out of fear, how manipulation shows up physically, and how they’d respond if a friend were in their position.
Whether used in therapy, journaling, or moments of self-reflection, this checklist empowers users to honour their instincts, recognise red flags, and reclaim their emotional boundaries.
