But every-day controlling behaviour may be getting an unfair bad rap – and may be essential for our wellbeing.
Imagine feeling the need to have everything under control, only to realize that too much control can spiral into something harmful. This episode of 'All In The Mind' tackles the tricky topic of controlling behavior. Host Lynne Malcolm and guest Thomas Eriksson discuss how control plays a role in our well-being and where it crosses the line into manipulation, especially in the hands of those with psychopathic tendencies.
Eriksson breaks down the traits of psychopaths, providing practical advice on how to spot and deal with their manipulative tactics. The conversation isn't just about the dark side, though. They also explore how everyday controlling behavior might actually be getting a bad rap and could be essential for maintaining our mental health. Whether it's in relationships, at work, or within ourselves, understanding the balance of control can make a world of difference.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that blends psychology with real-world tips on navigating the complexities of control.
