On this episode, Ameé speaks with Lara Currie, who is a self-proclaimed communication nerd and author of the book Difficult Happens: How Triggers, Boundaries & Emotions Impact You Every Day to talk about how manipulators break through our defenses in the first place in a way people never seem coming.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Lara's expertise in the field of communication
- Do we respond differently to a manipulator we deal with at work than a manipulator that may be a spouse or parent or friend?
- What is a micro-boundary violation?
- What are some of the tactics a manipulator uses?
- How do we defend ourselves against them?
- Are there tests we can try – phrases, or questions we can ask or responses we should listen for – that we can use to try to identify someone who is a chronic or pathological manipulator?
