Higher Ego Power and Difficulty Resolving Conflict

Higher Ego Power and Difficulty Resolving Conflict

Air Date Wednesday, 22 March 2023 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST

This week on It’s Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to resolve the small and large conflicts, arguments, and disagreements that take place in our lives. These conflicts are inevitable because we each possess an individuality that makes us unlike anyone who has ever lived, is living, or will be living. It is this uniqueness in our being, rooted in our having been formed by a unique set of life events, relationships, and experiences, that sets the stage for this inevitable conflict. One of the tasks of life is to reconcile our differences in ways that can lead to growth and learning from conflict rather than the often seen distance and destructiveness that results from conflict. Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings.

Unfortunately, for those with higher ego power, conflicts are opportunities for them to feed their needs to feel over-empowered. Their intense need for feeling empowered fosters an approach to conflict in which they resort to harmful and destructive approaches, when necessary, in an effort to “win” in the conflict. Approaches that are immoral, unethical, or illegal are welcomed by them. Consequently, physical abuse, psychological abuse (sometimes subtle), humiliation, and intimidation, just to name a few, are some of the techniques they resort to using, in order to defeat those with whom they are in conflict. For them, there is no such thing as a “win-win” conflict. That would involve sharing power. All conflicts are “win-lose” and they must be the winner. Losing in a conflict (large or something small or petty) is unthinkable. It represents disempowerment which they find intolerable due to the nature of their ego energy. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Dictator, the Ultra-Competitor, and the Rebel.

During the show I’ll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by higher ego power energy in their ability to work through and resolve conflicts. I’ll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform higher ego power into a healthier and more balanced place.

Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you’ve taught me about what ego’s doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.
