Permission Reversal
Open by naming the exact thing the viewer has been told they cannot do — then give them explicit permission to do it anyway.
When
Use this when your audience is stuck behind a rule, gate, or 'should' that is actually optional — and your content shows a faster or more honest path once that rule is dropped.
Best for
