Power dynamics

There are obvious power dynamics behind human psychology. The wounded child will take on habits as compensation for unresolved issues. There are archetypes which stem from this. 

The bully archetype who was himself made to feel less than, goes about the world seeking revenge by pushing others around. Some of the people they bully may have issues regarding speaking out and tolerate the cajoling instead of pushing back against it. There is a dynamic set up where the efficacy of the behaviour is fed into. 

It's fascinating how unresolved childhood trauma carries over into adulthood where it can either be addressed or allowed to fester. Both the bully and the ideal victim are the only ones who can repair a dynamic fed by two people both with insecurity issues.
