MANIPULATION IN ALL IT'S COMPLEXITY - a podcast by Rhoda Sommer on Relationships

Everybody manipulates to get what they want, even 3 year olds. Manipulation is part of our defense system. Manipulation are ways to win, to have power & control.

There is always a choice to manipulate with caring or fighting dirty.
