Manipulation usually operates on the subconscious, meaning that most people aren’t actively trying to control others. However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t powerful, and when you pair that with something as emotionally charged as a damaged marriage, people can easily feel exploited. In this new episode, Mark helps us better understand manipulation by summarizing it in a super digestible way, as well as showing us small tweaks that will help you enforce your boundaries. Ultimately, if you own your mistakes and embrace your value as a man, guilt can’t touch you.
“Manipulation is trying to get your healthy needs met in an unhealthy way.”
