The Manipulative Mindset: Recognize and Vanquish It!

Manipulation is a powerful force and the manipulative mindset ensnares and holds its victims within its grip.

When this mindset victimizes others for its own benefit without the consideration of others, emotional and relationship destruction eventually ensues.

In my years of private practice utilizing the Deep Feeling Process, I have helped my clients learn how to recognize the manipulative mindset, understand its process and emotional impact, break the bonds of manipulation successfully, and find joy in the freedom that results. Below are clients' stories that demonstrate the power of the Deep Feeling Process in battling the manipulative mindset.

Stanley: "I was in a marriage where everything that came out of my wife's mouth did something strange to my brain and my sense of self-worth and self-esteem. I began to lose myself. When I went to see Dr. Paul, I didn't know what to expect. I immediately got down on the floor and started to let my feelings pour out of me. This went on for some time and after a while I began to get a real sense of who I am and who I am not."

"My ex-wife did everything she could to manipulate my mind into believing I was a bad person. Sooner or later after feeling much of my repressed emotions, I came to realize that she was putting stuff on me that didn't belong to me. Everything was displaced and projected from her repressed feelings towards her own father."

"I tried to defend myself every which way. But, it was my own fault that I stayed in that situation way beyond what I should have done. I was the object of guilt slinging of massive proportions. I was locked into a drama and I couldn't release myself from it. Only through my feelings did I start to realize that I have a real identity and I am not those things that she accused me of. It was a nightmare. I am now completely free of her guilt slinging manipulations and have moved on to live an exciting and ecstatic life."

Bradley: "For years I have been the object and the subject of enormous guilt slinging manipulations by my mother. By spending a lot of time on the floor feeling my feelings I began to realize that I am something distinct and direct from what she accuses me of being."

"She tried everything she could to convince me that I am a horrible and bad son. By differentiating myself and discovering my true real self, I was able to separate myself out from all of her manipulative accusations. She is a desperate woman and will do anything she can to try to get love out of me in symbolic ways."

"I choose to love her not because she is such a great person, but simply because I choose to love her. I now laugh off her guilt slinging manipulations and am able to observe the enormous drama in her life and how she uses her drama and suffering to manipulate me into staying attached to her. Through deep feeling therapy I learned that you can't reason with an unreasonable person."

"I came to see that her reasoning deficiencies were causing her to be emotionally manipulative. I am no longer susceptible to her emotional manipulation. Through deep feeling therapy I learned effective strategies to counter her emotional guilt slinging. It's great to be who I am and not what she tries to paint me to be. Thank you Dr. Paul for putting me on the floor and deep into my feelings."

Rosa: "I came from a very manipulative family. My father manipulated me in so many different ways. I had to literally run away from home and get caught up in a marriage that was not suitable for me. I was powerfully drawn to deep feeling therapy and even though I was initially not accepted into the program, I convinced Dr. Paul to give me a shot."

"He was convinced of my conviction and sincerity. I hit the floor and went deep into my feelings with enormous passion, motivation and dedication. It really paid off. I was able to release myself from a bad marriage and the guilt trips of my father. I can only say that I became a superstar through my feelings and went on to a guilt free existence and a beautiful marriage and family life. Deep feelings save my life and freed me from manipulators and their drama."
---------------------------
Clive: "I can only say that I consider myself a total success story in the deep feeling process. It paid off in so many ways that have changed me from the inside out. I can't be manipulated by guilt. It just can't and won't happen. I have too much of myself."

"I became part of an organization and one of the chief executives started using enormous guilt manipulation. I was the only one to stand up to this person and declared that I would not participate in any activities that manipulated other people through guilt. To me guilt tripping is a horrible and destructive way of relating to people and I know I can never become a victim to that ever again."  

Vanquishing the Manipulative Mindset with Deep Feeling Therapy

Deep Feeling Therapy breaks up the powerful effects of the manipulative mind. Below are some of the elements that the Deep Feeling Process ameliorates:

1. It helps you to recognize, acknowledge and define emotional manipulation.

2. Recognize the deficiencies in emotional manipulation that exist in the areas of humility, awareness, responsibility, empathy and reliability. These are the elements that were lacking in the manipulative mindset.

3. Drama: Certain sub-personalities emerge in the drama that involves the manipulator. If you are the victim, you martyr your life. The good news is that you can master your life and become your own savior through deep feeling processes etc.

4. There are certain methodologies of the manipulative mindset.
Manipulators groom you for it and manipulate you into it. Through this process there is a maintenance of a toxic status quo.

5. Elements of manipulation: You will learn the variations that occur in specific contexts such as business, family and romance.

6. Psychological damage: through deep feeling therapy you can learn how short and long term psychological pain is instilled.

7. Breaking up the manipulative pattern: through every avenue of the deep feeling process, the connection and integration of the real self completely disrupts attempts at manipulation.
