    I've never understood what it means to "break" someone down. I like the idea that i was broken, and have been rebuilding myself ever since. This whole concept is so abstract I'm having difficulty believing its the actual issue at stake though.
    I believe that breaking someone down could refer to applying pressure (eg. physical, psychological) to force change someone's value or worldview. For example, do A and I'll give you a cookie/praise, do B and I'll punish/tell the crowd to boo you.

    It could also refer to the unfreezing stage of the Lewin's Change Management Model if applied in a group setting.
