DOMAIN:
Power / Seduction
CORE MEANING:
Allure becomes a form of control.
CLINICAL DESCRIPTION:
A compensatory condition in which seduction is used to restore a sense of power. By becoming the focus of desire, temporary control is restored over vulnerability and the possibility of rejection.
CORE PATHOLOGY:
Seductive compensation.
SYMPTOMS:
-Reliance on desirability as evidence of power
-Emotional validation
through being wanted
-Loss of interest once desirability has been confirmed
PROGNOSIS:
Power remains temporary because it depends on another person's desire. Each confirmation brings relief, but also strengthens the need to be desired again.
