Description

Ever walk away from a conversation more confused than when you started? That's not an accident—it's a tactic. Manipulators thrive on distortion, contradictions, and doubt because a foggy mind is easier to control.

In this episode, we'll break down the psychology behind confusion tactics—how they overload your brain, trigger fear responses, and make you question your reality.

You'll learn the playbook manipulators use (word salad, contradictions, selective memory, faux concern) and get clear strategies and scripts to anchor yourself in reality and shut down the fog for good.

👉 If you've ever felt mentally twisted after an argument, this one's for you.
