What are the components or dimensions required for collab… › current/new model as of sometime in 2021
- PCT offers a rather straightforward exploration of what coercion is, within the terms of its model, and broadly what an alternative might look like.
- Coercion is the attempt of one control system to control another control system's behavior directly. This occurs both within people and between people—when someone tries to commit to some new behavior, in spite of some resistance, they're engaging in self-coercion.
- This could be contrasted with a different approach to the same situation that takes a basic stance of "I (or this part of me) needs/wants X. I don't know what you (or this other part of me) might do that would satisfy X, but I want to find a way to satisfy it". This stance creates space for creative reorganization, rather than fighting a tug-of-war.
