My T also doesn't see manipulation as a bad thing but just as a way of getting my needs met...but part of me worries that that's because she hasn't been on the receiving end of it (and perhaps I lack confidence in her ability to even realize she's being manipulated). I don't know if I actually
will ever manipulate her, but I worry that someday if she is too nice to me, then I will try to manipulate her in order to get her to keep giving me super empathetic responses to things...
