(insert plug for my self-defense and martial arts classes here)
Aikido is where I began, and that's where that principle of reacting to a shove comes from. If it helps you at all, fighting back against that shove or the motions that come after it isn't the way to do it. You have to move with what your opponent is trying to do, without permitting them to achieve it. And that's true of an attack against your mind or your feelings that comes the same way.
