My favourite part is when she said if you’re nervous about a speech or public speaking, make this about them and not you, what they want to know, what is valuable for them that I can offer…that is such a change of perspective! Thanks for this video

[@stringofpearls4551]

I used to teach public speaking, and I always advised students to figure out what drives their listeners' engine. What's in it for them? From there, you can persuade them that what you say will be the "gas" for their engine. This not only results in greater success persuading others to listen and, sometimes, agree with you, but it puts your ego in the back seat. :)

[@meyay100]

Wdym? How? Our own brains deceive us in the name of self-preservation...how can you unconditionally trust another human being? Our survival and self-preservation is not an acquired habit - it is an embedded primal instinct which guarantees that we will put ourselves first - maybe not every time - maybe not often, but eventually we will, and that, makes your "unconditional trust" view, a self-destructive objective. Look at yourself - you've lied, cheated, stolen, betrayed (one or all of these...doesn't matter) at one point in your life. It might have been about something small and irrelevant, but that's according to your judgment and view, and the very fact that you have, proves that you yourself are not worthy of "unconditional trust". So, how then could you possibly assume someone else is?

[@gabriellagelir2027]

Being calm infront of someone who is being emotional or confrontational, is often times the best weapon because your calm demeanor serves as a mirror and the other person becomes forced to confront their own reflection.

[@CCbeans]

Unless the person is valid in their emotions. Emotions are not ugly or wrong.

[@Mourning_Dove]

Why does it have to be a "weapon"? Why not just your way of responding?

[@habibtialexandrite9988]

I think when you’re calm and show no emotion to someone who “is emotional” is pretty much saying that you have no empathy… I don’t think that’s a weapon 👀 On the other hand… that “emotional” person wouldn’t bother coming back to you again if you did that. Unless you’re a counselor or in psychology, that would be YOUR only reason why you SHOULD be “calm” because it’s your WORK. Thai woman WORKED to be undercover. So she HAD to be that way. Its not what a normal person should actually do on the day to day basis so It’s not a weapon. Calm down 🤚🏼 You don’t have to be a robot to help others. Sheesh. And no, if you’re calm in a stressful situation… you’re not someone else’s mirror lol 😂 It actually just calms them down because that’s the behavior you encourage. You honestly sound so heartless with your comment. Lol

[@traceysgmail9039]

The bottom line is that there's a time and a place for each and every response. It's a skill worth learning. Because our actions have a "ripple" effect. It does take training of sorts to learn how to respond to dramatic behaviours and to know how to detoxify from the unhealthy behaviours we're exposed to on a daily basis

[@gabriellagelir2027]

@@habibtialexandrite9988 hmm you seem to be misinterpreting this. By "emotional", I'm referring to someone who is flying off the handle spewing vitriol at you or a person with a high conflict personality who is attempting to bully you so they display aggressive behaviors/ emotions in an attempt to intimidate you. Showing empathy is not realistic but showing reserve and not reciprocating their energy is informing them that they do not control you.

Victimology is real. I always complained that all my friends took advantage of me, my partners took me for granted and never appreciated me and all those things were true and valid. The biggest breakthrough I got was when I acknowledged that I was the problem, I was the common denominator, I was doing something that allowed them to treat me that way. Once I accepted my fault because people treat you how you allow them, that was the biggest eye opener. Everything changed when I changed myself. You can't change people but you can change how you react to their actions or words. I changed me, and the people around me changed.

Yes, I finally learned that. I needed to remind myself to be more mindful about how I interact with certain people and how I react in certain situations, because the way I dealt with some people or situations that triggered me always used to lead to an escalation and I end up emotionally, and physically drained as well as stressed. It was difficult at first, and there are times still (though rare) that I slip back to old habits, but learning why I used to react the way I did made me more self aware and I am able to chose to act or speak differently so I can change the outcome.

Best advice, bad people do not respect boundaries. They will use every trick to suck you into their awful auras, if they see or imagine a weakness. They will come on with an powerful attitude of entitlement: superiority, smugness, arrogance, false accusation and offense, so they feel entitled to control and harm you. They may spread nasty rumors and badmouth you. They attempt to get into your psychic field, to read your mind, and feel your emotions. They thrive on chaos, fright and pain. Defense: Put up a strong psychic wall against these evil types. Never apologize. Never show fear. Approach them wit a no-nonsense professional attitude. Don't get sucked in, unless you enjoy being a victim of codependency who is held in contempt. You can never appease these people. Don't ignore the fact that much of this is sexist and cultural, as many men are not ready for independent women of agency. They will try to humiliate and intimidate you into submission. You may have to play along. However, you have to maintain a no-nonsense attitude, and refuse to engage with them. If their harassment persists, you will have to lay down the law and contact HR, law enforcement, and file a discrimination lawsuit.

@@skasmow to put up a psychic wall is to not let their bad energy in, you can do this in multiple ways, like imagining a shield of light around you (aura size) from which their words slide off. You can shrug your shoulders in your mind. Laugh at them in your mind, or pity them (they must have some trouble, pain or darkness inside of them to project it onto you.. see them as an animal with a thorn in it’s paw, it will not be nice to anyone because it’s in pain. Also actions out of jealousy stem from pain deep down, or people may try to belittle you out of fear of others). If you just repeat the words in your mind that they can’t harm you, and A. don’t respond or B. respond in a nice “adult”way to deflect, it’s as if you’re reflecting their energy back to them. Enough of this and they will start to feel that it is useless to try to get to you, and either find another victim and ignore you or they will possibly start to respect you. I hope this helps because this is how I do it myself. But it’s a thing that needs practice. Mindset shift (to understand that peoples actions are NOT personal but a problem of their own, to “pity” them but in a neutral and not arrogant way) has been the biggest thing for me though.

I was on an Evy BENDER too for a while there, can’t get enough of her, she’s absolutely fabulous, id even go as far as to say divine 👼 she’s a kindred spirit for me in that she’s a fighter, who’s mouth & temper has gotten her in trouble in the past 😂 but with a good heart... who will even use that fighting spirit on other people’s behalf, in a selfless way, willing to take on risks other people might not be willing/able to take. But unlike me, she’s been able to master herself, im sure she’s not perfect but, she’s dealt with WAY more pressure than most of us, regular civilians have, & just from being through difficulties in my life, extremely stressful, downright traumatic periods, i do know sometimes the silver lining is that it does sort of forge us in that fire, and we can sometimes discover we are much stronger than we previously believed. So I do really respect her experience & maturity, very much look up to & aspire to be more like her. Couldn’t put her book down either. She’s riveting, and really does have angel energy.

So so good to take responsibility. I was in an abusive marriage for a decade and I continued to blame him day in and day out. I believed if he could change or if I could help him change everything would be better. When I started asking myself how I got into the marriage in the first place everything changed. Yes, he was abusive and that's on him, but he didn't force me to marry him. I gave all my power to a man who was ugly to me from the very moment I met him and I allowed him to treat me like that. I kept myself in that relationship believing I was an innocent victim. I was not. And when I finally owned that, my emotions changed and I took charge of my life. I still have a ton of work but I have made incredible progress in a short amount of time. I understand how hard it is to get out, but you absolutely can when you choose to own your life and your choices again.

Was it truly the moment you met him? Did he not act in such a way to fool you? Did he not gaslight you? I don't think you would have gone and married an abuser if you knew right off what he was about. Sometimes abuse takes time to come out of the shadows!

[@jamiezintgraff3413]

@@Mourning_Dove Yes, in fact he was terrible to me from the moment I met him. I walked away and told my friends that he was the rudest person I'd ever met. But we were in the same circle for 3 years and he always went out of his way to poke at me or make me the joke in the group. It slowly shifted to include some flirtation, though, and then family got involved. It's a long tangled story and I believed it would be a fairy tale like Beauty and the Beast. Instead, he was simply a beast. He really didn't try to hide his bad side from me and I think he just discovered that I would take the bad with the good. I was incredibly broken and desperate for love and attention because of my up bringing and so when he started to give me a little it felt like the world was changing. Yes, there was a lot of gaslighting and manipulation, but when I honestly look at my experience, not much was hidden from me. Most of that grew later in the relationship and in our marriage as I would try to grasp reality and call things as they were. All that is now glaringly obvious when compared to my current boyfriend who is incredibly kind, humble, gentle, intelligent, and madly in love with me. His words are quickly followed by actions and our future is not fake like with my ex.

@@josepablolunasanchez1283 This is great advice, I was not aware of table top games like the ones you describe. I will look into those. I agree 100 per cent rules do put the mind into order. Placing yourself in a call center or school schedule will help order the mind. The key is not to overwhelm - and school can overwhelm. When I was leaving a bad situation but still working with my special needs son, I found completing a single Sudoku puzzle -- on paper with colored pens -- so very helpful after he went to bed. It was structured. It had to be completed in an orderly way, and it helped me feel like I had "completed" at least one thing by the end of the day. My good neighbor, God bless her, often dragged me out on daily or weekly walks around the neighborhood too. She knew the power of putting one foot in front of the other. :-) When leaving a traumatic family situation or partner or workplace, the mind can be scattered and react to stress (via PTSD) in an unusual way. It can be tough to experience. The key is to believe the brain can heal; and to slowly bring routine and structure ... into your life.

[@briciolaa]

pls though remember abusers do have preferred targets, but if they want to hurt you, they simply will. their preferred target is the most acceptable victim, one that people will say gave the abuser motive to do what they did, someone who "deserved it, asked for it, etc.". they'll play all sorts of mind games to convince you and others that their actions were justified. they'll go out of the way to actually create rethorics and made up rules to create an acceptable victim, they'll distort reality as much as possible. that's just a tactic though, it's not reality. you never game any reason to do it, it's them, they actively choose to hurt you every time. like i understand because i myself have to recognize why i gravitate towards predatory behavior, and what needs to change within myself (i need to be more authentic to myself, develop confidence, accept myself etc.), but ultimately it's not our fault. and its not to take away any agency from us or anything, but really i spent so much time trying to rationalize why abusers did what they did and what i could have done but i just had to stop, because people don't need reasons to be awful.

1. Certain levels of stress are good. They teach you how to cope, they teach you how to problem solve, they teach you how to fail and then to do better the next time. 2. I am ___(put the labels you think puts you in a disadvantageous position). No one’s going to like me. If you put labels on yourself, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. 3. You just perform. In areas, you are weak, perform. Earn your place. 4. If after you perform, people still have an issue with you, know that you are not the problem, they are. 5. Focus on putting one foot forward the other. Think about the next thing you are going to do. If I am not performing. And I’m there waiting for people to accept me, then now it’s me. 6. It’s 50% you and 50% the other person. 7. Respect is a gift. If someone wants to give it to you, they will, if they don't they don't. 8. Don't tell people you are the authority. Show them. Don't demand respect, command respect. Show you are the in charge by how do you walk into a room, how do you carry yourself, how do you speak, how do you project your voice. All those things exude power, and all those things command respect. 9. People make your impression in first five seconds. Think about what you are exuding, how you are dressed, think about the audience. You are going to wear one outfit for something and a different outfit for something else. 10. There are different versions of us. There is no just one you. What version of you are you bringing to the table? 11. Your goal shouldn’t be to make someone like or fear you. What is the end result you want? Likability is important. 12. Competent and warm not competent and cold. 13. No one is 100% bad. 14. Don't make it personal. Focus on the end result. 15. When things happen to you, rather than completely losing your mind, take a minute, don't respond, and don't do anything. Introduce a disrupter such as time or movement. 16. If you feel threatened in a situation, listen to your gut. Don't worry: about making the other person feel that you are rude. 17. Embrace and not avoid confrontation. Also, you should be able to confront people about things you don't feel right about in your life. Don't sit there and swallow it. 18. Mirror the other person’s language. If they say hi, say hi, if they say hello, say hello. Connect. But dint fake it. 19. Get in the right mindset and then decide how you want to speak to the other person. 20. 80% listen, 20% talk. 21. Talk to people not the way you want to be spoken to but the way they want to be spoken to. 22. You are not going to own my response to you. I am going to own it. 23. You have to create those barriers for yourself. You have to self-assess who you are going to let in your inner circle. Select the people in your inner circle. 24. People should audition to be in your inner circle. 25. Don't embarrass people but don't hesitate from confronting them. 26. There should be standards that you create for yourself. You get what you tolerate. 27. When you make a conscious decision to be done with someone, be done with them. 28. It should be about your mental conviction. Speak with confidence to make sure those who heard your message heard it clearly the first time. It should not be mistaken for weak or uncertain of your abilities. 29. Strengthen your voice and believe in what you are saying and why are you saying that. 30. The more adversity you deal with, the more resilient you become. 31. Repetition, repetition. Create habits that are healthy so when things happen, you default to those habits and pull out that version of you. 32. There are two types of people you should be careful of: people who are extremely self-righteous and people who use justification. 33. Look at people holistically who are they with everybody because that’s going to come back to you. 34. You feel dirty with someone be aware of them. 35. Don't get energy from the outside things such as your job, your family etc. Give your energy to those things but be mindful of how much of your energy you put out there into things. 36. Don't be surprised. Everybody at the end of the day is looking after their self-interests. 37. Don't be a victim. 38. Indecisiveness is a very dangerous thing. Indecisiveness causes us to look to others to give us the advice, it causes us to not make decisions in life, indecisiveness keeps us paralyzed, and indecisiveness is bad for our self-esteem and our confidence. I am going to do this right or wrong I am doing this. 39. You don't become this person overnight. It’s work. It’s a lot of work. 40. This person has an emergency. It’s their emergency. It’s not mine. 41. Choose to make it a lesson. 42. Remember you do not know everything. 43. “I messed up. So what? Everyone does.” 44. Have some humility. 45. Establish yourself as an authority from the moment “go”. 46. Think of your words as “money”. The more powerful and impactful the words, the more money you are putting down. My words matter and they have weight. They are going to impact the other person positively or negatively and their connection with me. 47. Don't stand behind the podium when you teach. 48. Be prepared, wear the right outfit, and do your hair and makeup in way that make you feel confident. 49. Own your shit. Be responsible for yourself even if the person sitting across you is authority. 50. If you are constantly being victimized by people, ask yourself: what am I doing to let people think they can do this to me. 51. Realize that you have choices. Fight back, speak back, or walk away. 52. Realize you have power. You can choose to not stay there in victim mentality. You can get back up. Watched all three of her videos and put it on all three. This is of so much value.

Sorry to tell you but you are wrong, sweetie. If you are employed in some jobs, it really does have to become YOUR emergency, much as it inconveniences you. That's what you're there for, honey. And, if you can't handle the stress of the job you're paid to do, then be woman enough and honest enough to simply admit you can't handle it, tender a polite resignation note, maybe apologise for your inability to continue and get out. Let someone who can handle it take your place. There are other jobs you could do to live. Maybe not as prestigious, glamourous, powerful, grossly over paid etc. But you'll survive because women are built to survive. But, if all else fails, you can remain alive on the Dole. A bit hard and uncomfortable, with other "sisters" looking down on you and treating you like shit when you know you are not. But, hey, who has to rush around getting ready for work, compete with other bitches in business, the work place, socially etc and spend a fortune on crap like designer clothes, expensive pointless salon treatments, hair, fake nails, fake eyelashes, fake tan, fake fake hair extensions, fake everything as this era's woman? Just to prove what exactly? That you have tits and a twot, which makes you female gender with desperate emotional bottomless pit of need. To prove she's worth anything at all? And guess who gets to sleep in everyorning, do as she wishes, have heaps of leisure time, no deadlines to meet, nobody to have to give a shit about what they think because they are all irrelevant, anyway? And make some true friends? You, now on the so called welfare trash heap. It completely readjusts your previously way off course female thinking that is driving so many very cashed up employed career women it business women etc out of their minds. Losing your high flyer career and income or profitable business as a woman and ending up forced to live on welfare can be the best thing that ever happened to you. You finally get to reclaim your life and in some cases, get a life for the first time ever eg if you came from some proper, rules bound respectable middle class type background eg private exclusive girls' school education, strictly ordered very proper respectable family life and all the rest of that restrictive scene.

It took me too long, but I learned that sometimes it's better to just let go and give them the "win" then to fight. And I put quotation marks on the win because for me, I can concede the point or the "win" when I know that being right or winning isn't as important as de-escalating the situation or preserving the peace. At the end of the day, I know that I was right and I have nothing to prove to anyone else. Fighting, and wasting all that time and energy just isn't worth it sometimes.

You have to read the situation carefully to decide how to best respond and that is the tough part. You can get in trouble for fighting at work. You can also be seen as weak with no leadership skills for fleeing tough situations. Best is to remain calm, serious, professional. You also have to find out why. Could the harasser be a tool of management that needs to play with and control their employees? If you decide to effectively go on offense, you must know why you are being harassed. You need to contact you manager; give them the harasser's name. If your manager does nothing, that speaks volumes. You may need to contact HR. If they do nothing, you should consider leaving, because you are not the yes person they want.

I played a roll in allowing these people to victimize me till my self worth was minimized to a picked dry carcass of what it was before. I was never the girl who got drunk or was out of control. I took care everything and everyone. I just over gave until my cup was empty and ignored the red flags. 🚩 I made the choice to gain my freedom. Then was harassed, alienated and abused for wanting that freedom too. To anyone watching this or reading my comments that is being victimized PLEASE listen to this message take ownership and LEAVE AND SET YOURSELF FREE!!!! ❤️ PTSD survivor.

Working with children, specifically ones with special needs is definitely helping me to realize that you can’t mirror their maladaptive behaviors. I realize that they don’t know yet how to handle/express emotions in a productive way but I do as an adult. Patience is definitely being practiced each day with children, but it can help with dealing with anyone honestly !

Thank you for mentioning this, sometimes when you mess up with children it’s hard to just say “so what!” … it’s very difficult when you care for someone with special needs who is very difficult… even harder not to blame yourself for not staying cool …

I really like what she saying about personal accountability. Nowadays it seems like we live in a society where it’s encouraged and celebrated to be a victim and to cry out poor me! When that behavior is enabled, people will never hold themselves accountable. I used to be like that. I’ve also found that people really struggle with being mad at themselves. It’s easier to blame someone else than it is to accept you messed up and be upset with yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, literally everyone. Take your moment to be upset with yourself, take your moment to feel sorry for yourself, Take that moment, but don’t sit in it. Some of the most important lessons I’ve learned in life started by someone saying two words to me… Now what?

[@amandaredd3057]

I'm hoping to learn a thing or two from this. I'm a 40 year old woman with plenty of life experience, but this issue still plagues me! When I'm triggered, my face feels hot, my brain foggy - I just lose the ability to maintain sensible thought and composure. I generally have to walk away from these confrontations/situations to avoid being fired or saying/doing something I regret. It's truly a gift to naturally have this ability. I know plenty of people who can, and I admire them. OK, now, show me your ways!

[@AugustAdvice]

I grew up in a very abusive family and it completely broke me down to where I lost any semblance of my natural confidence that I was born with. In my teens and early 20s, I remember seeing women who just exuded strength and confidence and I would look at them wanting so desperately to have that but I was never taught how. I remember when I was 20 years old I went to a job interview at a police station for a dispatcher position and in walked this late 20s woman who must have been in the military prior because she demanded respect just from her presence, you could tell she was a force to be reckoned with. I must have been looking at her in awe. I am now in my late 20s and it has taken me years to learn how to be more confident so I love when you have Evy on because it helps me see what true confidence and power looks like when I havent had similar role models in my life.

I can relate, my parents did everything they could to get rid of my self confidence just so that I would do anything they said without question. It has taken me years to heal/re-train myself to have confidence. I was lucky though, joined the army at 18 and found new parents, brothers and role models to teach me how to be strong in myself. Nice to hear you also learned the strength to pick yourself up, its not easy and not everyone is able to turn to healthy things to do that

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

Abusive families play games of blame and also "drama triangle games". The best strategy is not to play. Blame must be replaced by "I never lose, I either win or I learn". An error has a cause. Abusive families turn an error into blame, and sometimes it is THEIR error (not yours). When we address the cause of an error, we learn, so we need blame no more. Try playing Jenga, if the tower colapses, nothing happens, nothing was lost, there is no trophy and no punishment. You just rebuild the tower. Playing Jenga is a good way to practice learning instead of blame.

[@rosesicurello7712]

@Red Hot Pepper Spray you do teach others how to treat you though. Abusive relationships don't start overnight. Abusers are charming and are cunning at being able to win you back. You eventually need to look at yourself and say "what am I doing here"? There is some payback you are getting from being there and there are things you put out to make yourself a victim . When you dig deep and see those things then you can leave, then you become stronger and are able to be on good relationships because you are attracting the right kind of people. Abusers see you and step back because they now see a woman who they can't control and manipulate and make feel bad. You can only change you and be in control of yourself.

[@AK-lg1sj]

I used to be a detached person. Not get affected by anyone or anything. Due to mental absuse, I built a wall arround my emotions. I taught myself not to care, told myself that why should I care when nobody cares about me. I was not like that before but this went on for about 5 years or more. I closed myself off, cut myself from the world around me and retreated within myself. Now I am 18 and I still struggle to connect with other people. I recognised that this was unhealthy and will cost me later on future so I tried to break out of this shell and now my emotions are everywhere. This video helped my to arrange my thoughts and think methodically. Now I am ready to do it in a more healthy way, and this time with confidence. Thanks for uploading this video. I really helped me a lot. ❤

[@bre181000]

I’ve never heard of either of these wonderful women before. I came across this video while my 5 month old daughter was at daycare today. It resonated more than I could’ve ever imagined. Shortly after I got a call from my daughters daycare about her having labored breathing and potentially having RSV. I rushed over to take her to urgent care just to spend 2 hours there with her coughing, struggling to breath, and crying. She had a chest X-ray and a breathing treatment. They recommended we’d go to the hospital. At the hospital we were met with total neglect and turned away. We waited over an hour and a half just to be told we had never even been registered and that she will not be seen. I’m a single mom. Her dad chose not to be apart of her life in anyway shape or form. Going through all of that alone is the scariest thing I’ve ever had to endure in my life. I somehow managed to keep my composure until I realized my daughter was flat out not going to get the help she needs. Now we are home and im staying up watching her breathing until we can get into her pediatrician in the morning. The point to this story is, I would’ve never been able to hold my composure for as long as I did prior to today. I truly feel I was meant to see this video today. Not knowing shortly after a nightmare would turn to reality. The amount of simple coping mechanisms taught in this video resonated enough to help keep my TERRIFIED emotion filled self composed for hours and hours on end. I’m amazed.
