Preview: Manipulation and Not Being Part of It
We live in a society where we are influenced by others, given the interconnection between our values and goals. However, when this process occurs without our will and is hidden under the masque of “good” intentions — it’s called manipulation. No one is immune from it.
Once manipulated, people tend to blame others for their own weaknesses and pass responsibility on to others. Nonetheless, there is no progress in blame-game reactions! You cannot alter manipulators with this, but one thing you can do is manage your reaction. If you don’t want to become a victim of the other person’s game, it’s important to resist manipulation. There are two options that you may implement — passive self-defence and active self-protection.
During this lesson you will learn how to strengthen your immunity against manipulators, practice new conflict management techniques and select which option works better when addressing manipulation.
