Brainwashing



Brainwashing is the act of removing or changing someone's thoughts and memories. It is often done by the Dai Li.

History
It is unknown who created the technique of brainwashing, but it is known that the Dai Li are common users. It was first seen being used on Jet when he claimed Iroh and Zuko were firebenders. After Team Avatar went into the Dai Li base, they saw many women being brainwashed into thinking they were Joo Dee.

Process
When the Dai Li brainwashed someone, they would repeatedly say what they wanted the victim to believe. In the case of Jet, there was a light revolving around the room of the brainwashing.

Effects
When brainwashed, people are tricked into believing what the person brainwashing the victim tells them. The victim will forget anything the brainwasher wants them to.

Cures
There are multiple ways to cure brainwashing. They were both used on Jet.

Healing
The waterbending technique of healing has been known to have an effect on brainwashed people. When Jet was brainwashed, Katara took some water, and held it up to Jet's head. It seemed to have some effect.

Familiar Surroundings
After Jet was brainwashed, Team Avatar took him to the place he was brainwashed, and this helped him remember. Later, after Long Feng had Jet under his control, Aang telling Jet he was a freedom fighter snapped him out of it.
