Filed under: Tip of the week by merylrunion |

Sometimes we’ve just got to back off and build trust before making requests and placing demands.

Or reestablish trust. Often the people we love most are the ones we need to regain trust with because we access them on such a deep level that minor offenses build defensive walls.

Too often, that’s when we go in for the result rather than back off and heal the harm our unconscious action may have caused.

For more about manipulation, read Lee Beaumont’s article on trust.
