Is it true that love bombing is a form of psychological manipulation?
Yes. A reference article states that love bombing has been described as psychological manipulation, particularly in cult contexts, and a literary study treats love bombing as a manipulative strategy. A general definition of psychological manipulation also supports the framing.
