Control dramas

how you learned to get what you wanted from others, and how it still governs your behaviour.

No matter what kind of journey we make of life, where we started out will always be part of us. But only part. - Sir Alex Ferguson

Control dramas come in four types. Most of us have a favoured style, and adopt others from time to time according to circumstances:

1. Intimidator
2. Interrogator
3. Aloof
4. Poor me

Understanding control dramas is extremely helpful. Once you have decided into which group you, your parents/guardians, siblings and anyone else who had a profound impact on your childhood fit most comfortably, you can use these insights to develop greater understanding of your childhood conditioning, and yourself as you are now.
