When we feel low on power or threatened during a tense interaction, unconscious defense mechanisms can emerge, in order to elicit a certain reaction or to help us get our way. Called "control dramas," most of us have a primary control drama type that gets triggered without our realizing it, often adversely affecting the health of our relationships. In this course, you'll learn about the common types of control dramas, and you'll receive a toolkit of techniques to help you break the control drama cycle, in yourself and with others.
