Anti-shout skills such as Vocal Minority
Anti-adrenaline hexes such as Soothing Images

Notes

Playing this with a smiter with Strength of Honor is optimal.
Party-wide adrenaline boosters, such as Dark Fury will allow you to drop TPiY for a different elite, or GftE if you want to keep TPiY to support your party.
Having at least 5 allies is optimal for energy management, and the allies need not be party members (minions, spirits, and mission NPCs are affected by TPIY and GFTE).
