Sometimes, it is held hostage to a reactive state. Other times, you get to choose a shift.
The dangerous modes are all reactive, based in fear, threat, and the desire to win (or at least be right). Then there are 2 other modes that you can choose to adopt.
On automatic, in the midst of a relationship crisis, the 4 dangerous modes grab you and call the shots. When you take your mind off automatic, you get to call the shots.

- Fight
- Right
- Spite
