Domination Culture

Living Connected - NVC

Punishment / reward has been a strategy that people all over the world have used to get others to do what we want them to do. Does it work for the moment that there is discomfort in trying to figure out how to stop what is happening? Are there long term affects in the human psyche from the punishment method? Using domination “power over” rather than “power with” can be a strategy that often dismisses feelings and we learn that feelings are not acceptable.

Children experience these kinds of situations over and over in a dominance/obedience culture, with a child’s experience of not given a way to express their feelings authentically, they remember it in their bodies, and when they feel fear, or helplessness, this is the feeling that returns to them. This is how the idea, the practice, the strategy of dominance leads to trauma in childhood.

Join us in exploring this topic of Domination Culture that we are surrounded by in our society.
