What is conditioning in an abusive relationship?

Conditioning in an abusive relationship is the process where an abuser attempts to manipulate someone's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through a variety of tactics. This could include verbal abuse, emotional manipulation, physical violence, isolation, and other forms of control. It's a way for an abuser to gain power and control over their victim. It's important to recognize the signs of conditioning so that you can take steps to protect yourself and get help.

6 ways you know if your partner is conditioning you in an abusive relationship

  1. If your partner uses manipulation tactics to make you feel guilty, such as making you feel like you’re the one to blame for their bad behavior.

  2. If your partner makes you feel like you can’t make decisions without their approval or guidance.

  3. If your partner constantly tries to control your behavior or choices, such as what you wear or who you talk to.

  4. If your partner is overly possessive or jealous and is always checking up on you.

  5. If your partner is verbally or physically abusive and attempts to intimidate or humiliate you.

  6. If your partner threatens you with abandonment or isolation if you don’t do what they want.

It is important to remember that abuse does not always look the same in every relationship. If you think you may be experiencing abuse, reach out to a trusted friend or family member, or contact a local domestic violence hotline for support and guidance.
