Monday, April 18, 2011 at 01:20PM I ran across this article about Emotional Muggers on the Oprah website, by Martha Beck. Martha Beck is one smart, insightful lady and I am a true fan! I follow the Martha Beck blog for inspiration and as an emotional safety net. The Emotional Mugger article talks about people who pull you down and/or drain your emotional energy, sometimes unintentionally, but emotionally harmful, nonetheless. The article discusses what an 'emotional mugger' is, self defense tactics, and what to do after an 'assault'. According to the article, there are 6 different types of Emotional Muggers, although I can think of more! :) Categories such as Puppy Kickers, Exploding Doormats, Deflators, Secret Keepers, Cannibals and Dementors. Hope on over, it's an interesting read, especially if you, like me, are into psychoanalyzing!
