Description

Constructive Strategies for Countering Emotional Manipulation

From guilt trips to gaslighting, emotional manipulation takes many forms, and it's often so covert that clients have difficulty articulating how and when it's happening.

This recording explores the manipulator's motivations for relating to others through drama, offering an in–depth analysis of the manipulation process. Discover effective strategies your clients can use immediately to recognize and counter manipulation in any setting while establishing healthy relational boundaries. Combining decades of clinical practice and the latest behavioral research, Dr. Alan Godwin offers comprehensive solutions you will be ready to use the next day to engage and empower your clients.
