In a YouTube video by behavior expert Chase Hughes, he outlines effective strategies for identifying and handling manipulative behavior. Using the acronyms FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt) and CAVA (Control, Approval, Validation, Attention), Hughes explains how to categorize manipulative tactics and uncover the manipulator's underlying goals.
