The Hijacking Habit in Relationships: Understanding its Impact In any relationship, a delicate balance exists between giving and taking, autonomy and interdependence.

What is the Hijacking Habit? Hijacking is not about dominance or assertiveness; rather, it's about a lack of awareness and consideration for the other person's needs, feelings, and boundaries.
