  2. What is Guilt-tripping? Guilt-tripping occurs when a person makes another feel guilty, to manipulate them into doing something. It is a form of passive aggressive behaviour that results from the person’s lack of ability or unwillingness to communicate openly, honestly, and assertively.

  3. Signs of Guilt-tripping Guilt-tripping can appear in many ways. At times, guilt-tripping may be obvious. At other times, guilt trips may slip under the radar. Here are some telltale signs of guilt-tripping.

  4. How to Respond Many factors play a role in determining how you may respond to guilt-tripping. These include your ability to communicate assertively, the gravity of the situation, the impact of the guilt trip on you, and even the amount of time you have in that moment

  5. Recognise and acknowledge the guilt trip Start with self-awareness. The first step is to be aware of what is happening. Know the signs of guilt-tripping. Recognise and acknowledge the guilt trip for what it is.

  6. Understand the impact of guilt-tripping on you Are there other emotions present besides guilt? Could there be any resentment? Fear? Anger? What might be underlying these emotions? In what other situations do you remember feeling this way? What thoughts are running through your mind?

  7. When you are being guilt-tripped It can be helpful to start by understanding that another person’s behaviour is out of your control. No matter how hard you try to convince them, how they choose to behave is ultimately their decision. Focus instead on what you can control – your response. Do what you can.
