How to Tell If Someone Is Manipulating You (One Simple Test)

Ep 538: Manufactured vs Revealed

How do you tell if someone is manipulating you when what they give you feels this good? In this episode I take apart two ways a feeling gets manufactured in you and sold back to you. One is the free breathwork class that leaves a high with the teacher's name on it. The other is the seller who looks up your dog on LinkedIn so that you feel seen.

After twenty years as a therapist, I show you how to tell a feeling somebody made in you from something true about your own life. You also get one test to use this week: tell them early that you're not buying, and watch what happens to their interest in you.

If this stirred something up, leave a comment wherever you're listening.
