This post provides some tools for managing negative, dominant power dynamics in both professional and personal relationships. The effectiveness of these strategies may vary depending on the context and the closeness of the relationship, particularly in personal settings where emotional and physical intimacy play a larger role. The focus is on recognizing and responding to power limitation or abuse, with the understanding that the impact of such dynamics depends on various factors, including the nature of the power display, the situation, and the personalities involved. The tips offered are general in nature.

How to Manage Negative, Dominant Power Dynamics

Stereotypes fail to capture the complexity of introversion. Different cultures define "introverted" and "extroverted" behaviors differently. Introversion includes unexpected superpowers, especially in leadership. I recently read and loved The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, a psychologist who introduces the concept of different "zones" in life and work. These zones describe...

Introverts Are Not What You Think

Narcissists view partners not as people, but symbols of relational success. There are ways to evaluate the pursuit of true love or self-love. Narcissists reveal their true motives through how they define "quality time" with you. Are you dating someone who can’t pass a mirror without sneaking a peak at...

The cover story of Psychology Today this month, “Diagnosed In Adulthood,” made me think back to the timing of my own diagnoses. They all came in adulthood, in my late twenties: anorexia, major depressive disorder (with the modifier of with psychotic features added later), and borderline personality disorder.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”

Aurora’s ‘work first’ homeless plan: Instilling responsibility

Most of us are familiar with Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, an eighteenth century satirical novel in which the main character visits a series of strange countries, including Lilliput, where he is a giant among the diminutive-sized Lilliputians. In this country, Gulliver must attempt to adjust to a world where everything is much too small to accommodate his physical size and needs. Although that world might seem like a flight of fantasy that Swift created for satirical effect, the downsized world we inhabit in America today often makes it seem very real. If Swift were alive, he would probably think he had stumbled into the new Lilliput.
