In today's episode, we sit down with Aliia Roza, a former intelligence agent and behavioral profiling expert, to explore the psychology behind seduction, manipulation, and how people are trained to earn trust and extract information.
We discuss her time in a Soviet-era intelligence program, the training designed to break recruits down, and the difference between manipulation, seduction, and influence. Aliia explains the anchoring and programming techniques used to make a target emotionally dependent, the love-bombing cycle she compares to drug addiction, and why manipulators always rush you while real trust takes time.
She shares stories from her missions, including her undercover work against trafficking networks, and breaks down how the famous "honey trap" actually relies on social engineering far more than intimacy. This episode is a revealing look at the techniques used to influence people, and how to spot them being run on you.
