Episode 486: Soft Capture and the Performance of Systemic Care

Today’s episode explores soft capture, a deceptive phenomenon where institutional power adopts the terminology of empathy and attunement to maintain its dominance. Rather than authentically changing, these systems utilise mimicry to transform concepts like care and safety into empty performances of compliance. This shift creates a false sense of recognition for marginalised individuals, masking a strategic move to co-opt gestalt processing without actually shifting authority. By borrowing the language of relational sense-making, systems effectively mask their coercive nature under a veneer of understanding. Ultimately, the author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, warns that this linguistic evolution serves as a strategy for control rather than a genuine move toward human connection.
