manipulation curriculum | inner circle no. 1

dismantling the machine, piece by piece.

i sat down to write a single musing on manipulation.

i wanted to explain why smart women fall for dangerous men.

i wanted to explain the difference between connection and control.

but as i started writing, i realized something.

you cannot explain a war in a single letter.

and you cannot dismantle a bomb

if you do not understand every single wire.

i looked at the list of tactics i used to use.

i looked at the confusion i used to create.

and i realized that this isn’t just a topic.

this is a curriculum.

so i stopped typing.

i opened my notebook.

and i mapped out the next eight weeks of our cuffed lives.

we are not just going to talk about “red flags.”

red flags are for people who want to avoid a bad date.

we are going to talk about **architecture.**

architecture is for people who want to understand

how their reality was constructed

so they can tear it down and build something safe.

i have broken down the mechanics of control into sixteen specific components.

from the “poke” that makes you feel crazy,

to the “mirage” that makes you fall in love with a ghost.

this is the most important work we have ever done at cuffed.

and i am asking you to commit to the whole process.

if you are ready to see the map,

step inside.
