Manipulation Pattern Table Cards | Printable Standing Cards | Coercive Control & Narcissistic Abuse

Colour-coded, standing table markers for naming coercive control and manipulation patterns in session. Two "Self" anchor cards — Before and Now — bookend a set of tactic cards across five phases (Idealization, Devaluation, Manipulation, Discard, Hoovering). The client stands up whichever cards reflect their experience and writes their own example underneath. Physically laying out the pattern between the two Self cards turns something hard to name into a visible, externalised record — the contrast itself becomes part of the work.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

2 Self anchor cards (Before / Now)

19 named tactic cards across 5 colour-coded phases

8 blank cards (5 phase-matched, 3 neutral) for tactics not listed
