Programming

undefined:

Programming is the process of using trauma-induced dissociation to implant commands and structure a system by an external group. It commonly involves many forms of abuse to trigger dissociative responses allowing access to the subconscious. This leads an abuser (typically more than one) to create alters with specific roles, signals & triggers, and the internal world. Programmed alters may do uncontrollable actions when triggered, usually out of severe fear, or an overwhelming compulsion. There are many kinds of programs. Whether or not the abuser knows that they are causing a system depends on the specific group, as not all abusers know what DID & OSDD are, but understand the outcome.

Programming is part of the mind control aspect of RAMCOA. Historically, it was greatly misused during the satanic panic to the point many people, even professionals, do not believe in its existence. However, programming is not a new phenomenon, and any group that severely conditions a person to uncontrollably respond to certain triggers has partaken in programming.
