Manipulative technique to foster suggestibility and a physical stress reaction

Phobia induction is a term coined by Steve Hassan [1] to describe a manipulative technique used by cults and deep politics to trigger a paradox bonding reaction. Phobia induction might be part of disaster planning.

Extreme examples include the Stockholm_syndrome and mind control programming. The human body needs to relax from time to time.

Severe stress reactions may result if this recreation phase is blocked, i.e. by a constant fearful state, so that stress hormones (and mental stress reactions) accumulate. The result may be much like in the boiling frog metaphor: people may not be aware of their suggestibility in this state.
