Some psychological manipulation techniques to create and maintain trust in relationships include: consistent modeling of trustworthy behavior; open, forthright communication of thoughts and feelings; emphasizing mutually held values, goals, and interests; understanding their expectations and needs for trust in the relationship ;listening empathetically; maintaining honesty even when it would be easier or more advantageous to lie; responding genuinely, openly, and consistently when queried on the matter. By engaging in such behaviors we foster a trusting environment with others where they feel secure expressing their true thoughts or feelings. 

By understanding what kinds of behaviors cultivate trust we not only ensure that our relationships are based on a solid foundation but can help foster stronger ties with those we care about. Making the other person feel comfortable opening up about their experiences—good or bad—is essential for creating lasting bonds of mutual support and trust.

## Notes

1. Manipulation does not necessarily imply deception or malicious intent--it is more accurately described as skillful influencing which can be used to evoke positive feelings or responses from another person. For example an advertising campaign that appeals to a persons values with clever messaging is manipulating them towards making a certain purchase.
2. A great example of how manipulation has beneficial intents can be seen in Therapy session interactions between client's counselor where the counselor manipulates clients thought process through active listening empathetic comments towards guiding them towards better mental health outcomes.
3. Positive reinforcement can also influence human behavior as seen within social networking applications where users engagement behaviour on site leads too greater rewards i.e increase in followers,simply by Likes/stares/generic comments). This type reinforcing encourages user retention overtime due being reinforced for activity done on website.
4.Empathy is also key element for successful manipulation since it helps developing trusting bond rapport  by understand how they tick behaviourally/cognitively /emotionally & exploiting that knowledge beneficially e.g speaking at their level communicating using stories/metaphors & avoiding complex jargon/theory laden language .
