Your Relationship Tug-of-War: Breaking the Cycle of POWER PLAYS
from The Healing and Life Transformation Podcast with Mark L Lockwood BA(hons)(psy) · host markllockwood
We all want to be loved. But why does love so often feel like a battlefield? Why do we find ourselves keeping score, giving 'advice' that feels like an order, or withholding affection to get our way? Today, we’re talking about Power Plays. We’re peeling back the layers of why we try to control the people we love—and how that very need for control is actually a confession of how powerless we feel inside.
