Episode 187: The Myth of Control
As human beings, we crave certainty. We want to feel a sense of control because then we can feel safe. Sometimes we think that controlling other people will give us that sense of safety. “If I could just get my husband to support me more, then my life would be so much easier!” or “If I could just get my child to stop being so anxious, then I wouldn’t worry so much about them and I’d feel better!” And you might be right. Your life might be easier if that were the case. I don’t know how to change the people in your life, but I do know how to teach you to feel the way you want to feel without controlling them. Listen to this week’s episode to see just how you don’t have to control others in order to find your way to real contentment.
