Are You A Control Drama King or Queen?

What is a Control Drama? A control drama is a way or technique that people use to try to get what they want which is often causes conflict and is usually learned or developed unconsciously. Although the ways that the people are using control dramas may appear to work for them in the moment, often it doesnt achieve their goals and causes damage in the relationship. More details to come as we get in the article. First however, see if any of the following control dramas are ways or techniques that use you to get what you want in your relationship:

1. Criticism or guilt
2. Charm, gifts, doing stuff for another
3. Crying
4. Yelling or Screaming
5. Threats, verbal or physical
6. Pulling away, shutting down or not talking to your partner
7. Hurting yourself, breaking things (consciously or unconsciously) or throwing things
8. Being nice
9. Giving affection or sex
10. Using security, children, money, relatives, using social pressure, (i.e. what will our friends and family say or think if you dont do…) or any combination of people, places and things to get what you want.

You may be thinking that some of the examples above are things that people naturally do if they are upset such as crying or yelling, however everything on the list can be forms of control dramas.

Most people who use control dramas do not know of or are not aware of any other ways to get their needs met. Often these techniques are ones people develop in order to get what they want that has been developed or has been passed on from people around them, usually family and relatives.

The majority of the time control dramas are ineffective because it is a form of indirect communication instead of direct communication. Indirect communication is where people dont say clearly what they think, feel or want but give indirect clues or hints as to what they really feel, think or want where as Direct communication can be defined as people saying upfront and clearly what they think, feel and want.

Other times you may get what you want by using control dramas but at a cost such as upsetting, angering or oppressing your partner by forcing your partner in ways that are not comfortable to them. I.e. yelling, throwing things, crying. If this is the case, in the case of energetics, where ever there is oppression, they will always be resistance, so eventually your partner will start to resist your control dramas whether that is retaliating themselves, emotionally shutting down or leaving the relationship.

To hit these two points home, the following are the effects if you use control dramas in your relationship:
