Brainwashing doesn't always look dramatic; it often employs subtle tactics to bypass critical thinking and reshape beliefs and identities. Various models describe how systematic social influence operates.
Undue influence describes a process in which one person takes a position of power over another, leaving the influencee unable to exercise free will, prevalent in cults, workplaces, and politics.
The first step to reality-testing your beliefs is creating healthy distance. High-control groups rely on constant reinforcement through propaganda, making it essential to step away for reflection.
Breaking free from undue influence requires critical thinking and a reconnection with one's core identity, countering the manipulative tactics used by those in power.
