WARRIOR INSTINCT

in a nutshell:

Our Warrior Instinct makes us see things as
wrong or right, and black or white.
It compels us to focus on security and see people
as either friend or enemy.
It drives us to try to control other people`s
thoughts and behaviors.
It makes us territorial and think in terms of
possession, ownership, and protecting
the things we believe are ours.
It makes us fight.

Our Warrior Instinct is satisfied when:
We feel we have control over
people or situations.
We have been proven to be right.
We win.

When it isn’t satisfied:
It makes us use force or threat of force.

Given unlimited resources:
It could destroy the species.

 

 

As Providers
Our Warrior Instinct makes us loyal and dedicated
to protecting the ones we love.
And it will spur us to defend you to the death.

As Partners
It gives us black and white thinking.
It makes us rigid, stubborn and convinced
we're always right.
It also makes us uncomfortable with our feelings,
and awkward with intimacy.

As Friends
It makes us usually only bond with others
with Warrior Instinct. Our friendships are based on
believing that we are better than other people.
Our long lasting friendships are with people that
we can compete with, like playing sports.

In Bed
It makes us use force to get others to please us.
It is the origin of rape.
It makes us not care about the needs of others.
