Okay, so what’s the big deal about “Power and Control” issues? Should power and control be judged by the motives of the person who is seeking it out? Is it possible that an inner need to have this power and control be a sure sign there is a lack of it and makes one feel inadequate without it? And what about how a person feels when confronted by another who is trying to overpower them? Is this a trigger for the person who already has a pathology of unregulated anger?
What ever the case is, it should be said simply, “Too much of any one thing can be considered unhealthy.” That includes ice-cream, beer, candy, soda pop, and of course, power and control. If it’s true, “life is not fair” and we are always compromising about something, then the power and control needs a person feels should be explored to hopefully discover what those irrational needs are so the irrationality can be extinguished in favor of a more comfortable and happy relationship with your spouse.
