Communicating with a manipulator is like walking through a minefield - you never know where you’ll get blown up. Couldn’t refuse your boss’s request because “only you can cope with this task”? Do you tolerate your partner, because “with such a character, no one needs you except him”? Do you sacrifice yourself so as not to fall in the eyes of your friends? If you are familiar with these situations and you often experience shame, guilt and loneliness, you have hit a mine of a manipulator. Dr. Simon has been studying problematic individuals for almost 30 years and knows everything about methods of effectively dealing with them. The author is sure that manipulators have dozens of techniques and tactics in their arsenal, with the help of which they take advantage of the kindness, compassion, love and hope of the victim, leaving fears and doubts in return. This book will help you learn the traps of a manipulator so that you never fall into them.
