The Grey Rock Method: The Only Way to Beat a Sadist | EP5

There's only one way to defeat a sadist and it has nothing to do with fighting back. If you have an everyday sadist in your life, a cruel boss, a toxic ex, a manipulative friend, there's only one way to defeat them and it's not fighting back. It's called the grey rock method and here's the psychology behind it.

A sadist is seeking an emotional response, your anger, your tears, your desperation. That's their reward and if you give them that reward they'll keep coming back. So you must become as uninteresting and emotionally flat as a grey rock. Short answers, blank expressions, zero personal information, no drama.

When you consistently deny them the emotional payoff you become useless to them. They move on to an easier target, you starve them out. See the full video linked in the bio. Like and subscribe for more Doc Psychology.
