Understanding Emotions to Combat Deception

Recognizing and understanding one's own emotions is crucial for combating deception. When individuals interact with liars, they often become emotionally entangled, which can cloud their judgment and enable the liar’s manipulative tactics. By stepping back and analyzing emotions neutrally, individuals can gain control over the situation and detect dishonesty more effectively. This approach reinforces that the real power lies with the person being deceived, as liars manipulate emotions to regain control.
