Description
Some conversations feel normal… until later.
That’s not an accident. That’s psychology being used against you.

You’ll learn how these tactics work, how to spot them immediately, and most importantly, how to cut the strings they pull.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do people make me do what I don't really want to?”
…this will finally give you the language for what you’ve been experiencing.
