Manipulators are Among Us - A BOX OF CARDS
Learn how to talk back and stop being manipulated
Original Title
Boîtier - Les manipulateurs sont parmi nous Développez votre répartie pour contrer la manipulation
Developing the art of counter-manipulation to free yourself from the influence of manipulators: a playful and practical box of cards, by the leading expert on manipulation and author of bestsellers that have sold half a million copies!
How do you react when someone disparages you, discredits you, makes you feel guilty, blackmails or threatens you? Are you taken aback? Aggressive? Do you run away? Do you tend to justify yourself? If so, do you feel bad? Helpless and powerless? Or instead full of anger? Whatever the case, it's a rare person who feels nothing in the face of this kind of attack, but having the ability to talk back is not easy and natural for everyone. It can be learned, however. The purpose of this box is to suggest possible responses for talking back to manipulative people (otherwise known as “narcissistic perverts”). The box contains 52 cards, divided into four categories: manipulators in general, in a couple, as parents, and at work. On the right side of each card is an inspiring “advice” statement that encourages the person being manipulated to adopt specific behaviours to break free from the manipulator's grip. On the other side of each card are two examples of statements used by manipulators, as well as two suggestions for manipulation-fighting responses to each. The cards are tools for you to practise staying neutral or in control in the face of manipulators' remarks, since the trick is not to enter into their toxic—even perverse—game. With a bit of practice, anyone can do it!
