What if being reasonable is the worst strategy with a narcissist? In this conversation with negotiation expert Rebecca Zung, we explore how to protect yourself when fairness and empathy are used against you. She shares her SLAY method—Strategy, Leverage, Anticipate, and You—as a powerful framework to shift the dynamic, stay emotionally grounded, and take back control in high-conflict relationships.
