Clients have often asked me to explain why their spouse, the controller, gets so focused on such trivial issues. It is because of what I call “Straw Thinking”. When the controller is so focused on such a narrow issue as though they have to make it their own “Custard’s Last Stand”, they lose track of what is important. They trade away a healthy mindset for a stroke of their ego. In this video, I describe how Straw Thinking is not productive in bringing about healthiness in a relationship.
With You in Mind,
