When you want nothing from the other, you cannot be manipulated. You cannot be enticed or intimidated. You cannot be held hostage.
This is the essence of real freedom and power.
How can you arrive at this?
By letting go of all desire and expectation that is fulfilled by the other. And by convincing yourself that a grain of good cannot reach you, unless Allah permits it and a grain of harm cannot reach you, unless Allah permits it. He alone has command over what you receive and your life.
What can anyone possibly give you or withhold from you that is better for you than what Allah can give you or withhold from you?
