“I am saying this for your own good,” we hear during conversations with our loved ones. How can we tell if it is true or if someone is manipulating us? We talk to Małgorzata Majewska, a linguist, communication expert, and author of the book “I speak, therefore I am,” about what is hidden in the language we use every day. We decipher intentions, but also signals hidden in the words and sentences we speak that indicate our mental condition, addictions, hidden emotions, or the condition of our relationships and relationships with others. How to listen to understand, or when should a red light go off? And how to speak so as not to hurt or manipulate? This is one of the topics of this conversation, to which we traditionally add a portion of polite instructions.
