When Caring Becomes Costly: Understanding Manipulative Dynamics

Learn why your care, empathy, and grace can become open doors for control and how to recognize when change is real vs. just a performance.

Have you ever cared so deeply for someone that it began to cost you your peace?

In this free 25-minute video, counselor and speaker Sharon Wegman unpacks the hidden dynamics behind manipulative and emotionally confusing relationships. Such relationships leave you second-guessing yourself, defending your boundaries, and wondering if the other person has truly changed.

Through biblical insight and 30 years of clinical experience, Sharon explains:

• Why some people can’t handle truth or correction without feeling attacked

• How trauma and entitlement make genuine growth nearly impossible

• The difference between discipline (love) and control (abuse)

• Why “religious” behavior can be mistaken for transformation

• What real, sustained fruit looks like and how long it actually takes to see it

If you’ve ever hoped someone would change, but found yourself right back in the same chaos… this message will help you find peace, clarity, and freedom from emotional exhaustion.
