It's a textbook interpretation of psychological control

1. Isolate contact with the outside world

2. Pretending to create anomalies in the material world, causing them to feel distrustful of themselves. For example, the sudden dimming of the gaslight under unmanned conditions is actually a man-made change.

3. Through third parties, strengthen their distrust and frustration in themselves. For example, a maid loses her self-esteem through the distrust and contempt of others.

4. Make mistakes, strengthen punishment, and completely destroy their self-confidence. Paula made a small resistance and was used to smash her self-confidence in front of everyone.

To break free, external forces are needed. Or reorganize your cognitive structure by discovering core objects, such as the letter that reveals all the truth, and the gem.

  • Paula Alquist Anton: Suddenly, I am beginning not to trust my memory at all.

    Gregory Anton: I tell you, you're just tired, that's all. It doesn't mean anything.
