CONT

Le chantage affectif est une forme de manipulation psychologique et émotionnelle très puissante. Il se produit lorsqu'une personne que vous côtoyez et qui vous connaît très bien se sert de vos points faibles, de vos secrets, de ce qui vous rend vulnérable, contre vous. Son but est de vous contraindre à agir selon sa volonté, et il va jusqu'à menacer de vous punir si vous ne faites pas ce qu'il vous dit de faire.
