Chapter 3-2: Control - Rewards
Chapter 3: Control
Entry 2: Rewards
Ultimately, when you’re looking to get control over someone you want to induce in them a subconscious understanding or desire to receive your approval or something from you that you can provide them. The goal is to make them emotionally dependent on you by inducing in them a desire to get your approval and or to get you to give them something they desperately need. This will keep them at your beckon call waiting for the next thing they can do for you.
Rewards will ultimately need to be used at some point to keep your target interested. The target can only sustain perpetual damage and emotional abuse for so long before they start to crack and take action or collapse.
You don’t want them to crack because if they crack they will become very dependent on you. They will be an emotional wreck and will find themselves in a state of learned helplessness, sounding like a blubbering baby that for helping to put them together and you’ll have to make a choice, do you want to serve this person or leave?
If you’re choosing leave like you should, then you may be prematurely leaving because you didn’t provide enough positive rewards back to them. It’s that or they caught on that you were the reason their life had suddenly become so difficult and they tossed you out, conversely they may have cracked and now they need you for emotional support as they maneuver through the black abyss of life failure.
- Cautionary Note - if you are leaving and this person is having some type of a breakdown then you will look bad to everyone you know for having left them in the time of their need. You need to check out the section on Smear Campaigns in order to create your defense for this occasion. Remember, the best defense is a good offense.
In all cases if you want to keep them within your span of control you must keep alive their hope and you do that by providing them with affection periodically and with items that they want. The trick here is to not give them too often and to always leave them wanting.
Typically, the more abused or neglected they were as a child the more abuse they’ll tolerate as an adult so if you find a people pleaser that just keeps trying and trying no matter what then you’ve found yourself a good candidate because they will stick through the lows and will get addicted to the cycles of up and down. This will be further covered in the section for Intermittent Reinforcement.
When it comes to rewards it’s critical that you don’t over reward them. During the initial meeting time with them, if they are receptive to it then you want to drown them in affection, presents, favors, and good deeds. You will want to get them dependent on some aspect of what you are providing it and once they are attached then you’ll want to withdraw it.
So, if the target is someone that get’s their affirmation and bonding from sex then you’ll want to start withholding sex from them. This is typically a tactic that works better for females than it does for males but, if the target is unaware of why you’re with holding sex then it can be very effective for women as well especially if they are the type that needs to be validated through sex. You essentially want to put them into a position where you have something and only you have what they need - so you control the dose and the timing of their ‘drug’ so to speak. This will further enhance the dependence on you and give you more control.
You’ll withdraw it to keep them trying to get it back. They will put in more and more effort into getting that affection back or that thing back which will further feed into a need for your approval. The need for your approval will become the hitching point of their voluntary servitude as their identity will fuse with yours and you will become the center of their universe. This concept gets flushed out in the Erosion of Identity chapter.
