I hope this is helpful now and in the future as we develop this skill of [[Trust, Building Trust|discerning trustworthiness]] in ourselves and others, as well as the prevention of feeding, rewarding and giving authoritative power in any way to narcissistic and psychopathic behavior. | I hope this is helpful now and in the future as we develop this skill of [[Trust, Building Trust|discerning trustworthiness]] in ourselves and others, as well as the prevention of feeding, rewarding and giving authoritative power in any way to narcissistic and psychopathic behavior. | ||
==Reducing Anxiety==What are Megalomanics, tyrants, control freaks and other bullies thinking? They have several perceptions and beliefs that are out of balance and potentially destructive.The mistaken belief that what I can control fully, cannot hurt me drives the [[Negative Ego]] behavior of many control freaks. Others are driven by their internal fear that they will lose control, or at least the needed autonomy, altogether. Their anxiety results from vulnerabilities that the control freak tries to eliminate by controlling every aspect of the environment and the people in it. They try to control every perceived threat, whether real or imagined. They lose track of what they can change and what they cannot change. They choose an ineffective approach to coping with their anxiety by controlling and manipulating others around them. The [[Consumptive Modeling]] of energy vampirism that exerts control over others and manipulating scenarios is entirely exhausting. Uncontrollable adverse events often lead to learned helplessness and extreme mismanaged stress. Exerting control prevents learned helplessness, feeling powerless. Tyrants reduce their own fear by removing anyone who poses a threat to their needs, belief systems, or whatever else. | |||
