In this brief instructional segment, the speaker outlines a courtroom strategy for neutralizing manipulators during depositions or cross‑examinations. The core idea is that manipulators rely on building momentum and keeping the conversation abstract, which lets them maintain control and hide details. By deliberately pausing, asking for concrete specifics, and breaking the rhythm, the attorney forces the manipulator to slow down, exposing gaps and preventing them from steering the narrative. The speaker emphasizes the importance of “putting the brakes” on the interaction to regain control and avoid missing critical information.
