She has a goal. She will do what it takes to achieve that goal. It's about the goal, not about her.
I remember years ago, relating a story of a pre-trial event to my wife (the judge went off on me, it was performative, I happened to be the lawyer up front when the judge decided it was time for the message. I took my berating, and then used it to my advantage. And no, I didn't do a damned thing wrong and didn't deserve it, it was just time for the judge to do that). My wife was outraged, she said she'd have told the judge off, etc. I laughed. I reminded her that I had one job: achieve a good result FOR MY CLIENT. If letting the judge call me a piece of shit 10X a day gets me across the finish line with a win, fuckin' a, print me a name tag that says "piece of shit." Oh, and it worked -- judge and I had an understanding after that, and things went quite well.
Rational, strategic adults think that way. It ain't about her, it's about her goal.
