Question
Some potential obstacles when implementing Dr. Goulston's techniques could include resistance from the irrational person, difficulty in maintaining emotional control, and the challenge of not falling into the manipulator's traps. Overcoming these obstacles requires practice and patience. It's important to stay calm and composed, not to take the irrational person's behavior personally, and to firmly but politely set boundaries. Remember, the goal is not to win an argument, but to effectively manage the situation and protect your own mental and emotional health.
This question was asked on:
Manipulators want to turn their problems into yours, leaving you emotionally and sometimes even financially drained. No matter how many times you help, they come back with a new problem. To handle manipulators, let them complain. Then tell them that it could either get better, become worse or stay the same. Upset that their manipulation didn't work, the other person will vent again. Gently but firmly respond that you may not be of any assistance, wish them well and close the conversation. Don't contact them till they reach out.
