Buried Feeling
Powerless, humiliated, unsafe, angry, controlled, afraid.
Buried Belief
- “If I am in control, I am safe.”
- “If I dominate, I cannot be hurt.”
- “Power protects me from shame.”
- “I must never be helpless again.”
- “Control makes me desirable.”
- “If I lose control, I lose myself.”

Next Step
Ask, "Where do I feel powerless when I am not in control?"
