TACTIC #2: PRACTICAL HYPNOTISM
AND LOTS OF PRACTICE__
Sometimes a cop in the child ego state will really not want to depart from it regardless of your prodding. He is like an old Chevy stuck in first gear. You may have to use some Adult Ego State language to snap him out of it.
Magic phrases like, “OK, let me talk to your shift commander.” Will work wonders. Immediately the transaction goes from parent-child to adult-adult. You will know it by the stunned silence as he is forced to transition to his adult state. An adult knows he has a boss. A parent acts like the boss.
You just reminded him of the reality outside of this little situation and brought him back to the office where his boss just threatened to reprimand him if he was ever caught doing xyz again without authorization or on company time.
Not all people have wonderful supervisors. Most are psychos. If his boss is a psycho and he has butted heads with him recently he will be secretly pleading with you to find a reason to press the history erase button so you can go your separate ways.
Just a quick note: do not gloat. Do not put on a big sh!t eating grin that screams, “I WON!” There is no quicker way to pull someone back into the child ego state than a fight.
Whether you are winning or losing the fight it does not matter, it becomes a child-child interaction. While that can be useful in some situations if one child has a Glock it will always end in a certain way if that particular child is afraid to lose.
A child-child interaction works best if you are trying to get your zombie to help you. Like 2 snickering children you can deputize the child zombie to help you play, “Let’s pull a fast one on Joey!” This is not that type of zombie.
Find a zombie and experiment on him.
You are surrounded by them and they are not going away any time soon.
You work with them. You vote for them. They hand you your coffee in the morning.
What else have you got to do?
Take notes, start a "spellbook," and share your observations.
We can build off each others’ work.
I have more to write on this soon.
