Ah, ok. I wasn't sure if it meant some kind of meditation or visualization, neither of which I've ever found useful or helpful when dealing with manipulative people.
What i need to find, is a way to immediately notice through their dialogue with me, what type of manipulative tactic they're using, and how to respond to it. I.e. when they gaslight, minimalize feelings, invalidate facts, blame shift, deflect, etc.
