Power Struggles Facts

  

BLAME.....ANGER......RESENTMENT.....MANIPULATION.....CONTROL

BICKERING BACK AND FORTH...

 More than anything else, power struggles destroy the quality of

attachment relationships.

(Attachment Relationships can be with spouse, significant other, parents, siblings, children and friends)

Power struggles always result in more resentment and hostility.

  

When one person wins.....everybody loses.

Power Struggles

These three elements must exist in order for attachment relationships

to grow and become healthy relationships :

  

  1.  Unconditional safety and security for all parties.
  2.  High levels of compassion and understanding   
  3.   Freedom from resentment, hostility,abuse,and emotional or physical   restraint.

  

  

  

Remember...................Treat others as you want to be treated.
