10 Manipulation Tactics Men Use to Gain POWER Over You & Keep You Hooked! | Dr Orion PT 1

from Women of Impact

In this episode of "Women of Impact," Lisa Bilyeu welcomes Dr. Orion Taraban, psychologist, YouTube creator, and author of the bestselling book "The Value of Others." Dr. Taraban brings a refreshingly candid — and sometimes controversial — perspective to the complex world of romantic relationships, power dynamics, and emotional safety. Together, they pull back the curtain on common traps women fall into, how to recognize manipulation (especially from narcissists or cluster B personalities), and the essential mindsets needed to reclaim your relationship power once and for all. Dr. Taraban and Lisa set the groundwork by tackling why no one can technically manipulate your emotions — unless you allow them to. This is essential listening for anyone looking to understand how to protect themselves while dating—or simply elevate their personal relationships to a new level of autonomy.
