Do your clients experience repetitive, hostile, controlling verbiage? Do you advise them to speak up for themselves or to just ignore it? In this program you will find out why these approaches can perpetuate attack-defend or pursue-distance cycles. Instead, four verbal strategies will be demonstrated that disarm random attacks and the backlash from being assertive. Diverse threads of hypnotic syntax, martial arts, neuroscience, and scripture will be woven into strategies that prepare people for dominance behavior in any setting.
