Mental manipulation techniques can be used safely and effectively when used as an ethical tool in therapy, counseling or coaching sessions. Before engaging in this type of technique, it is important to ensure that the client voluntarily consents and that all risks are discussed. Additionally, mental manipulation should only be utilized when there is a clear benefit for the client and only applied within boundaries set by both parties involved. It is also essential to ensure informed consent is received before any treatment or interventions are administered in order to protect both the practitioner and the client

It is always important to use mental manipulation techniques safely and responsibly, regardless of their intended outcome.  To do so effectively, it's essential to understand exactly what your goal is. Are you trying to create more engagement or trust? Cause someone to act in a certain way? Change how they feel towards something or someone? Once you determine your goal, try using gentler techniques like storytelling or open-ended questions, as well as more direct ones such as priming and framing. Be sure to avoid using manipulative language like “I know it’s best for you,” which can easily come across as condescending. Regardless of the approach taken, strive to be open-minded and honest when communicating with another person. Being clear and concise about intentions will ensure that the results achieved are true collaboration instead of manipulation for personal gain.
