The disasterous effects of being lost in the FOG are confusion, crazymaking, people pleasing, and an erosion of boundaries. When a person is being manipulated they have a hard time figuring out who has the problem, what is normal, what is problematic, and if their wants, needs, and feelings are valid. The FOG is one of the main reasons that people stay "stuck" in abusive relationships for so long, why they continue to get involved with abusive people, why they feel that they are the problem, and why they tend to feel that the abuse is somehow their fault. There is no shortage of people with well-intended bad advice out there who unintentionally fall into the FOG as well, and push targets of abuse into keeping the relationship going. However, this type of destructive manipulation isn't just limited to narcissists and sociopaths. This book will help you get out of the fog of confusion and into the clarity you are looking for.įOG is an acronym that stands for "Fear, Obligation, and Guilt." These three emotions are often at the core of manipulation, and are often how narcissists, sociopaths, and other types of emotional manipulators go about controlling their targets. They apologized, but will this time be different.or will they just get better at hiding what they are up to? What will it take to get through to them?
