Protect Yourself From Control Dramas

Taken by 62,424 people

Most people accept that conflict is inevitable. What many don’t realize is, most of us use unconscious strategies called control dramas to gain power or energy from another person, and essentially "get their way with others." A control drama is played by anyone who is feeling low on power or energy to manipulate and steal the energy of another. We get our way with others by making them pay attention to us, and then elicit a certain reaction from them to make ourselves feel fulfilled. The positive feelings we gain are won at the expense of the other person, and this often causes imbalance and drama in our interpersonal relationships.

Live a Drama-Free Life

In this course you'll learn about common control dramas and how to negate them through step-by-step applied approaches that really work. Dr. Jody Janati will help you identify and protect yourself from common control dramas that arise when individuals become defensive. Once you are able to recognize the behaviors that surface during defensive reactions, you will learn more than 101 ways to constructively respond during difficult interactions. The goal of this course is to help you set healthy boundaries with others, and ultimately, find your "conversation peace."

What you will learn in this course:

  • What is a control drama: How do we interact without tension?
  • How to recognize intimidator behavior.
  • How to recognize poor me behavior.
  • How to recognize interrogator behavior.
  • How to recognize aloof behavior.
  • Assertive communication creates balance for any control drama.
  • What effective assertion models look like in action.
  • A step-by-step guide to three successful techniques.
  • How to balance your conflict: 101 things to say and do during difficult interactions.

Awareness and recognition of a control drama allows you to break the cycle and disconnect from it completely. When a control drama isn't controlling an interaction, you can respond more effectively and authentically to others. Knowing you have choices during difficult interactions with others, allows you to live a drama-free life.
