In this video, Ross Rosenberg explains how Pathological Narcissists (Pnarcs) utilize the manipulation technique he describes as "Induced Conversation.”

Pnarcs easily manipulate codependents, or what Ross calls people with “Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD),” when they engage in a conversation. SLDs (Self-Love Deficient) mistakenly believe that by arguing, trying to convince, or merely stating their opinion, they are wielding power over their narcissistic partner. The opposite actually happens, as it brings them into what Ross refers to as “the wrestling ring,” where the narcissists are adept at manipulating, lying, and/or gaslighting them.

The most effective of all the Pnarc’s manipulative strategies is “Induced Conversation,” especially when breaking down a no-contact initiative or when trying to hoover (suck back into the relationship) the SLD.

For SLDs to not get sucked back into the relationship that has nearly destroyed them, they must have potent counter-measures to survive the narcissist's induced conversation strategies. The most potent of all (not discussed in detail in this video), is Rosenberg’s Observe Don’t Absorb techniques.

For codependents or people who are self-love deficient, to not get sucked back into the relationship that has nearly destroyed them (to get hoovered), they must have potent counter-measures to survive the narcissist's manipulation strategies.

Rosenberg also connects SLD's addiction to their narcissist and the manner in which induced conversation impacts their powerless position in their relationship.
