Secrets of Dealing with Difficult People

Описание: Exhausted from dealing with toxic people? Ever feel like you're arguing with a brick wall? Or feeling disappointed (again) with people who promise the world but fail to deliver? In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein reveals the “psychology secrets” for dealing with difficult people. She covers why your need to be "right" might be counterproductive—and what actually works instead. Discover the game-changing difference between fighting ("boxing") and strategic redirection ("tai chi”). Learn to spot DARVO manipulation tactics before they derail you, and walk away with tools for setting boundaries that keep you safe and sane.

If you've ever left a conversation thinking "why do I even bother?"—this episode will change how you show up, from the office to the dinner table.
