Significado
To make someone lose their calm.
Contexto cultural
There is a high value on 'keeping face' in public. Being 'выведенным из равновесия' is often seen as a tactical failure in negotiations or social hierarchy. Dostoevsky's characters are often defined by their lack of 'равновесие'. The phrase is a key tool for literary analysis of his 'feverish' protagonists. In Russian martial arts, 'выведение из равновесия' (Kuzushi) is the fundamental first step of any throw. This physical reality deeply informs the metaphorical use.
Use with 'окончательно'
To sound more native, use 'окончательно' (finally/completely) to show that a series of events finally broke someone's calm.
Don't over-use
It's a strong phrase. If you use it for every little thing, you'll sound like a drama queen.
