What if the best response to a manipulator isn’t a comeback at all? In this video, Rebecca Zung, The Leverage Lawyer, reveals the three simple words that can stop a high-conflict person cold: “I understand you.” But the real power isn’t just in the words—it’s in what you do next: stop talking. Rebecca explains how high-conflict people push your emotional buttons to get a reaction, why defending yourself and over-explaining gives away leverage, and how acknowledging someone’s position without agreeing with it can completely change the dynamic. You’ll also learn how to use statement + silence, why staying calm when they escalate can strengthen your position, how to avoid turning the technique into sarcasm or another form of escalation, and why documenting the facts and saving your explanations for court or mediation can be strategically smarter. If you’re dealing with a narcissist, manipulator, difficult ex, high-conflict co-parent, or high-conflict opponent, this is a practical communication strategy for protecting your peace and taking your power back.
