A Look at Manipulation.....

People that manipulate can oversimplify, they can reduce a complicated situation to black and white.
They refocus the point of an argument in favor of themselves.  They like their own point of view.  They like to use the words, never and always.  You never do this or that.... You always.....
They exaggerate.  They call a second request harassment.  They focus on their own pain. 
They have inner pain and can only find that pain in the world around them.
If you find a point to agree upon, they will change their perception and deny it.
If you find a point to agree upon, they will keep changing the agreement and run in another direction with lots of other points.
We will look at the antidote tomorrow.

LENS neurofeedback can help to smooth out this bouncing around.
