In this episode of Break the Psycle Podcast, we explore the twisted world of manipulation — its history, its many forms, and whether it’s always as bad as it sounds. From the origins of gaslighting (shoutout to the 1938 play Gas Light) to the emotional maneuvers that make us question reality, we break down how manipulation shows up in everyday life. We’ll dive into emotional manipulation (ever heard of guilt trips?), social manipulation (hello, propaganda), and whether some forms of influence are actually harmless — or even helpful. Join us for a deep dive into how manipulation works, why it’s everywhere, and how to tell if you’re being played (or maybe doing a little playing yourself).

In this episode of Break the Psycle Podcast, we explore the unique challenges of kids who grow up too fast and take on roles as caregivers—the "parentified" children. Elijah, Danny, and Kyla each share their personal stories of navigating adult responsibilities as kids and the impact it has had on their lives. We discuss the complexities of generational parenting, the effects of estrangement, and the path to forgiveness, even when those relationships are complicated. Tune in for candid conversations on healing, generational patterns, the struggle to forgive, and the power of psychedelics in finding closure.
