Reverse psychology

Reverse psychology was a persuasion technique involving the false advocacy of a belief or behaviour contrary to the belief or behaviour which is actually being advocated.

Having successfully tricked the Seventh Doctor into restoring the Tolians' source of dimensional energy for them using his Node by manipulating him and using a form of reverse psychology, allowed the Tolians to force him to open a dimensional rift, causing a catastrophic imbalance to the flow of dimensional energy in the process so great that it threatened the structure of reality itself.
