Those who misuse control over others are often extreme information gatherers. They then use that to position themselves with more control. At first it seems an innocent gathering of information but later reveals the twisted issues connected to their domination of another. In this video clip, I provide a point of view that may help you sort out the truth in these types of relationships.

This video will begin a series of videos over the coming months and largely relates to my work in the area of psychological abuse in relationships. This video series will include dialogue about the manipulation of power and control and how it relates to struggling relationships. In this very brief introduction video, I talk about underlying strategies used to control and the psychological abusive use of power and control.

There are three strategies that I have found in my work with clients over the last 25+ years in counseling therapy, and these three strategies are the underlying concepts or infrastructure that abuse relies on in order to meet its domination. It is important to note that the strategy is the plan and the tactics are the methods used.

In this video I give a brief overview of these three basic strategies; The withholding strategy which is mostly used passively, the deception strategy, a combination of passive aggressive strategy and the crisis-risk strategy which is the more overt, aggressive and even dangerous strategy. Each of these strategies may be used intentionally or unintentionally.

Have a look at this brief overview. I would appreciate comments, suggestions and questions about this information as well as for future videos in this series.
