POWER PLAYS AND DRAMAS

Do you ever find that, contrary to your best intentions, you have once again gottten drawn into someone else's drama or power play?

Do you realize it when it's happening or not until later? Do the types of power plays that draw you in have a pattern?

How do you feel while it's happening? How do you feel later?

How does the interchange affect your relationship with that person and how does it affect your relationship with people you are with afterwards?

Do you divide your relationships into "easy" ones and "difficult" ones?

How often do you instigate the drama or power play? How do you feel when someone jumps right in with you as opposed to those who don't engage?

What do you think is the relationship between your pattern of engagement in power dramas and your stress level? How often you are ill? How often do you have a headache, stomachache , backache or just low energy?

Do you hang on to power dramas after they are over (I shoulda said...")?

How often do you catch yourself enacting a fictional drama in your head? How do those fictional dramas affect your relationship with that person(s)?

Do you find yourself wishing that you could see situations and people more clearly--not have everything filter through your history (prejudices, biases, past traumas, immoveable opinions)?

Please share your thoughts and dreams and goals--someone out there could benefit from your wisdom.
