Page 5 - Needs Model Series: I feel a sense of control
P. 5
People react in different ways
When our sense of control is taken away, people react in
different ways.
Some people try desperately to get control back.
They fight as hard as they can. If they cannot get control
back, they may get frustrated and angry.
Other people feel helpless. They just give up.
They let the person take control of them – even
though it doesn’t feel good.
Which is more like you? Which are you more likely to do? Would you fight
back or would you give up?
It may depend on who is controlling you, how old or powerful they are or
the situation you are in.
