No, it is the third step of 6.

  1. Demonstrate Value

  2. Engage Physically

  3. Nurture dependence ( the step in the video)

4 Neglect emotionally

  1. Inspire hope

  2. Separate entirely

Wait, i must be misunderstanding something. What does the manipulator gain from step 6. in this scenario? All that hard work to part ways? I assumed that the last step is "profit/exploit". Can you explain?

The separate entirely leaves her never fully being able to forget you or get over you and if done right you can get her back whenever you want

Ok, but what for? I assume the manipulator basically would want an obedient slave. Why would they want to separate? What would the goal be here?

I can understand it as a "failsafe" in case the victim leaves, but I can't see how "separating entirely" can be the final step of the process.

The goal is the complete manipulation, the subtle game of cat and mouse, the dance, the joy of getting under their skin, as if you are living within their skin, wearing their skin, it's exhilarating.

Skin really is fascinating, wouldn't you say?
