"Shock and Sell" Have you fallen prey to this?
In relationships impacted by cluster B personality disorders like borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial personality disorders, manipulative tactics are prevalent. One common strategy discussed in this week's podcast is the “shock and sell” approach, where a shocking statement or action is used to destabilize someone, followed by rationalizing it to manipulate them into accepting behaviors that may not align with their needs. "Shock and Sell" aims to make individuals more compliant and less likely to resist.In this podcast we explore an example of how this technique is applied in real-life scenarios, such as unexpectedly changing plans to manipulate and control others.
