What are Power Threats?

Power threats are threats to your value and your esteem. 90% of the time you are not managing physical threats, but threats to your power and your esteem and your value and that is what manages your boundary system. That is what your boundary system is engineered consciously or unconsciously to do, to manage power threats. Does that insight not change the game?! In other words: what is under threat is your power as defined by what you think your value is. Those threats are shame, humiliation, and loss of value to other people. your boundary system is defending against those things. Or be it in a way that is self sabotaging and self-violating. And this is the paradox of boundaries, the duality, the catch 22. We have a boundary system that is engineered from a subconscious level at childhood, or better from our tribal origins, that are engineered to ward us off the threats of shame, humiliation, and loss of value to other people.
