B - I think Dan and Mike are different. I'm not a student of Mike's or anything. He doesn't have students. The only person who bullies even the mods over here, or is talking to lawyers, is Dan. As usual - you just have to read this thread. It's all there for people with eyes to see it. What have I actually said that invites such venom from him? Nothing. I've just asked him questions he finds inconvenient and has refused to answer (again). In contrast MIke will answer any question you ask him. You don't have to agree with his answer, but at least you get one.
Good luck in your training

This is a very interesting statement. I would have thought the methods of developing internal power such as the pulling silk exercises would only serve to strengthen your nerves because these exercises are sort of akin to Neural or Nerve flossing. It's sort of big in the strength conditioning world but I am skeptical of its effectiveness in that arena because they don't practice relaxation techniques.
But is it a particular internal power method you believe makes your nerves weak or all of them? I would have thought the nerves would be stronger as you release the spine, no?
Stern said it’s extremely difficult to get gaslighters to take responsibility for their actions, because instead of expressing shame or contrition, they are likely to feign outrage and attack the questioner.
“You might be confronting the person on their own behavior, but they will immediately turn you into the problem,” she said. “It can be extremely damaging to your sense of self and psychological stability.”
While there’s no particular personality type that is more likely to employ gaslighting, Stern said the technique is often used in abusive relationships.
So what should the country do?
According to Stern, the best way to handle a gaslighter is to disengage and let go of the relationship.
“Confronting the gaslighter can inflame him,” she said. “You can not win that power struggle with someone who is invested in gaslighting. With some people, it’s hard to penetrate their system, if not impossible.”
