manipulee

Customer Service manager Manuel "Trickster" Camingitty was able to manipulate Nancy Assdid to do exactly as he had so painstakingly planned to ensure she would do what she had told him she had made up her mind long ago to never do, especially at work. For months, he continued manipulating and in other ways abusing his new employee who in his self-talks he referred to as his "favorite female manipulee", and who his best friend, an Italian-American singer, jokingly called his "manipulah."

word therapy

Healing oneself by working with words and letting them order and clarify the way one feels, thinks, and acts.
After a major television network offered to interview me, but then cancel the interview, lowered my self-concept, confused me, made me feel powerless—even helpless, but not hopeless.

Soon after I started to edit the index of a book I'm writing, working with words made me feel increasingly better.

Working with words balanced my emotions and allowed me to feel, think, and act correctly again. I call that word therapy.

Truth Upholding

Writing down the exact words each individual says (or only the keywords) and/or electronically recording the words to deter speakers in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation from making false statements, saying they said something other than what they said or saying they did not say something they said.
Because human beings tend to make false statements it is extremely helpful to practice Truth Upholding.
