We do not teach you how to chase. We teach you how to recalibrate. By analyzing real behavior patterns, you get a framework for adjusting your moves. Not a big, dramatic confrontation, but small, calculated shifts that change how they respond to you.
It is not manipulation. It is understanding the rules of the game you are already in, and finally playing consciously instead of suffering passively inside it.
