Smearing, an intentional, premeditated effort to tarnish or undermine an individual's reputation, credibility, or character, often emerges in estrangement. This manipulative tactic is a kind of power grab; the perpetrator discredits the target while gaining more credibility, acceptance and approval from parents, siblings, or others. Smearing can alter the family narrative, and the target often feels overwhelmed and helpless. In this important episode, we look at smearing tactics and how to respond to them.
