Can you benefit from your addictive personality treats?

Manipulation: two sides of the same coin.

Manipulation is a very common trait of an addictive personality. It’s obvious: one person takes advantage of another using an advanced set of strong communication skills while being desensitized by substance use or addictive behaviors.

All you need is to flip the coin. As soon as someone breaks the vicious cycle of addictive behaviors, manipulation can be converted into collaboration. Both parties win when collaborating. A quick hint: you still have those strong communication skills, remember?
