The essence of the psychological trick

First, you need to ask your loved one a leading question.

If the other person is silent or answers evasively, don’t get angry and demand to “tell the truth.”

Instead, it is better to remain calm and silent. During the pause, look the person straight in the eyes.

The interlocutor is unlikely to withstand such psychological pressure. Most likely, he will tell about the difficulties he had to face.

And this is very good: the essence of the problem will become clear and it will be possible to take specific measures to help a loved one.
