Create Dissonance, Offer Resolution Forum for Tactics
(Note: This tactic is still in "outline" phase. More to come on this subject.)

Technique: Create dissonance and then offer the solution for dissonance reduction. Intentionally arouse feelings of dissonance (by threatening self-esteem, making the person feel guilty or arouse feelings of shame or inadequacy or by making the person look like a hypocrite or someone who does not honor his or her word). Then offer the solution to reduce the dissonance - i.e. through compliance with your viewpoint to reduce or eliminate the guilt, shame, inadequacy, fear, hypocrisy and/or dishonor. (See "Instill Fear" and "Reveal the Hypocrite")
