I’ve had people in my life use manipulation to create leverage that allows them to achieve their goals.  But there is a way to handle these situations effectively to keep yourself in check.  On this episode we discuss:

• Who is challenging/manipulative in your life
• Why people resort to manipulation
• Don’t get sucked in
• Focusing on your breathing
• Slowing down by asking questions
• It is NOT about YOU
• Let go of anger and resentment
• Rebuilding trust
• Ask for what you need
• Be prepared for people who are difficult
