Defense Against Micro-Boundary Violations with Lara Currie

On this episode, Ameé speaks with Lara Currie, who is a self-proclaimed communication nerd and author of the book Difficult Happens: How Triggers, Boundaries & Emotions Impact You Every Day to talk about how manipulators break through our defenses in the first place in a way people never seem coming.

In this episode, you will hear: 

• Lara's expertise in the field of communication
• Do we respond differently to a manipulator we deal with at work than a manipulator that may be a spouse or parent or friend? 
• What is a micro-boundary violation? 
• What are some of the tactics a manipulator uses?
• How do we defend ourselves against them? 
• Are there tests we can try – phrases, or questions we can ask or responses we should listen for – that we can use to try to identify someone who is a chronic or pathological manipulator?
