Overview

The Subjugation information handout is part of the Psychology Tools Schema series, designed to aid clients and therapists in effectively working with early maladaptive schemas (EMS). This resource explores the subjugation schema, which arises when individuals submit to others because they fear the consequences of expressing their rights and feelings (e.g., criticism, rejection, punishment, abandonment, or retaliation). At the same time, they tend to view their needs, opinions, and desires as comparatively less important or valid. As a result, they often feel controlled and subservient in their relationships.

Theoretical Background & Therapist Guidance

Schema therapy provides a comprehensive model for understanding and address complex psychological difficulties. It is based on the idea that unmet emotional needs in childhood lead to the development of early maladaptive schemas (EMS). These entrenched patterns persist into adulthood, negatively affecting how people think, feel, and relate to others.

People with a subjugation schema let others dominate them because they are afraid of what might happen if they don’t. For instance, they might worry that expressing themselves will lead to rejection, abandonment, or retaliation. However, always going along with other people want often leaves them feeling frustrated and powerless.
