Controllers are most likely to be domestic abusers, because first they will use a psychological warfare, and if it should get to that, where they can't control someone psychologically, they'll move on to physically.
Ever been on a date and felt something was off? In this episode of 'Wolfgang - OCCD Guru', former pro wrestler Wolfgang Schultz breaks down the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of a controlling relationship. Imagine sitting across from someone who seems perfect, but there’s an undercurrent of unease. Wolfgang explains that perfectionism can be a red flag, especially when it's coupled with inflexibility and a need to have things their way.
He dives into the importance of paying attention to how your date handles differing opinions and spontaneity. Controllers often show their true colors by being rigid and dismissive of other viewpoints. But it doesn't stop there. Wolfgang also highlights how these behaviors can escalate into psychological manipulation and even physical abuse. His insights are not just theoretical; they’re grounded in his personal journey and extensive experience dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Control Disorder (OCCD).
This episode isn't just for those in the dating scene; it's for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of control and protect themselves from potential harm. Wolfgang's advice is straightforward: trust your instincts, stay true to yourself, and don't ignore the red flags. His approach is both empathetic and empowering, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking healthier relationships.
So, if you've ever questioned whether someone’s behavior is a red flag, this episode will give you the tools to see clearly and act wisely.
