The next step is TR-0 "bullbaiting" where the partner says things to the indoctrinee to get them to react. This is called finding a person's "buttons". When the person does react, he is told "flunk" and what he did to flunk and then the phrase that got him to react is repeated until the person no longer reacts. This is very effective as a behavior control method to get the person to blank out when someone starts saying negative things about Scientology.

A therapist specializing in exposure therapy will be more useful than a cult for this purpose.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
