Subjugation Schema

Subjugation Schema Therapy & Counselling in Elsternwick

If you identify with 5 or more of these statements then you probably have this schema.
  1. I have a lot of trouble speaking up for myself.
  2. I often feel that people treat me like a doormat.
  3. In my relationships I tend to let other people make the decisions.
  4. I rarely tell people if they have hurt my feelings or let me down.​
  5. I tend to feel a lot of anger and resentment that I rarely express.
  6. I tend to please other people so that there won't be conflict or rejection.
  7. I am afraid that if I let my feelings out I will lose control.
  8. I tend to be quite passive aggressive.
  9. I avoid conflict or confrontation at any cost.
  10. I have difficulty putting up boundaries with people.
Subjugation schema exposes us to a fear or anxiety of retaliation, humiliation or rejection if we express our true feelings and needs. This anxiety prevents us from asserting ourselves, establishing boundaries and dealing with conflict.

Not only does subjugation schema make us worry that we won't be able to cope with the after-effect of saying how we feel, but failure to establish boundaries with others can often leave us feeling taken advantage of, used or disrespected. We end up doing things we really don’t want to, because we can’t say “no”.

New ParagraphThis causes a build-up of anger and resentment that often crops up abruptly or in unexpected situations. Alternatively, we direct this anger towards the person causing it in passive aggressive ways.


We might fail to return calls, ignore people, turn up late, or half-heartedly complete tasks we’ve been asked to do. We spend a lot of time people-pleasing and doing what others want, so people never get to see the “real us”.


This schema has huge effects on our confidence and self-esteem, as we know that we are not being true to ourselves and we end up feeling controlled and disempowered. It often results in abusive relationships with partners, friends or colleagues because we don’t speak up for ourselves. 

Overcome this way of thinking, with subjugation schema treatment in Elsternwick

You might be wondering where subjugation schema comes from, or what triggers it in the first place. If you were raised in a household where it was dangerous to express your feelings or speak up, you are very likely have this schema. It’s also very common in people who have been physically, emotionally or sexually abused.


As a child, it was in your best interests to stay quiet and small to avoid harm. If you had a volatile parent or if there was a lot of conflict and stress in the house, you might have associated speaking up with fear, retaliation or humiliation.


Unfortunately, this pattern is still playing out today. But with professional subjugation schema treatment at our Elsternwick clinic, you can “find your voice”, and regain control over your life and decisions.
