00:00 Provocation 03:43 Inclusion 06:37 Metaframe 10:40 Disposal The goal of a provocateur is to get you to react, provoking fear, shame, guilt, anger and other emotions that throw you off balance and force you to justify, defend, argue, and respond. By influencing your values, needs, pains, fears, and weaknesses—everything charged with strong emotions—you can be swayed. Simple questions, accusations, shifting responsibility, insults, depreciation, lies, violations of personal boundaries, threats, blackmail, extortion, and other manipulative techniques are used to elicit strong emotional reactions. The video explores how to respond to provocations when any reaction may be used against you, how to react if any response is wrong, and offers strategies to avoid being led into provocations, communicate with a manipulator, and neutralize a provocateur.
