I'm not sure this is actually an apposition, since I've only seen appositions between nouns, not verbs. But anyway...

I'm wondering if I should use a comma here:
He has persuaded, convinced me, to do this.

... Or perhaps I should write it like this?
He has persuaded me, convinced me, to do this.
 
  • He has persuaded, convinced, me to do this.
    He has persuaded me, convinced me, to do this.

    But not:
    He has persuaded, convinced me, to do this.

    The sentence has to make sense if you omit the text between the commas.
