About this listen

In this episode, we examine the Primitive Defense Gallery used by psychopaths in high-stakes negotiations, focusing on the mechanisms of splitting, projective identification, and omnipotent control. These primitive defenses allow individuals to distort reality, externalize unwanted emotions, and maintain a fantasy of total mastery, often creating confusion and imbalance at the negotiating table. The discussion provides practical insight into recognizing these patterns and protecting one’s position without being drawn into psychological manipulation.
