    It's really funny to me how he's using those techniques on us, as the audience to this video. We clicked on the video probably out of curiosity, but he may well have deftly realised that a lot of people would actually want to know how to use his techniques in their everyday life, and he gave his techniques and reassurance to make us feel seen, heard and understood in what we probably didn't even realise we wanted. Master at his art. Well done.

    Those are the exact skills that a professional counselor needs. We also learn to find the pervert person's motivation and use that. Why do they want to change, or why do they want a particular thing. I'd love to know how that plays into negotiations, too. I guess like he said, they want to walk away safely at the end, so you'd build on that.

    Jack Kornfield in his book "A Path With Heart" gives excellent instructions on how to do just what is described here, label one's emotions. I used that with therapy clients a lot. Most of us only know "sad, angry, happy" and never sit down and put a finer point of words on our many feelings. Disappointed, frustrated, discouraged, calm, content, elated." And then just let them pass. Even with huge feelings of stress this helps. bring you back to the present moment and brings a sense of control. Over you, not the situation.

    I think kidnapping will become more and more common in developed countries.

Working two, three jobs just to pay the bills and still have nothing will push some to the edge.

    Obviously this role requires nerves of steel. However, let’s be real- there are many people capable of handing over great wedges of money to kidnappers. The courier is in a far riskier role. Making these huge payouts saves one life whilst simultaneously feeding into a system that will end up claiming more lives than he has saved. It’s a false economy that only benefits the criminal gangs in the end.

    He talks like Nick Frost when he's making up a story as he goes. Also, if these kidnappers want to be seen as "trustworthy" and make a name for themselves, then surely he already knew who they were?

    Uh, no. Someone who would plan out a kidnapping either has no morals, or is unstable af.

    He got them from demanding 3 million to reaching a deal for 300k which takes the highest negotiation skills and saved their lives. There's lots more to it than just paying them.

    just sounds too much like an amateur actor to be believable.
