Letting Go of the Need to Control: Healing Survival Mode

Are you stuck in "survival mode," feeling like everything has to be under your control? In this episode, we dive into survival strategy #2—absolute control—and how it stems from anxiety and past trauma. I share my journey of recognizing this pattern, from micromanaging my family to realizing that my attempts to prevent harm were actually causing more stress and dysfunction.

We'll explore:

  • The difference between control and influence.

  • How fear of unpredictability fuels our need to micromanage.

  • Why letting go of control creates healthier dynamics and more freedom for everyone involved.

Join me as I unpack the lessons learned from breaking this cycle and stepping into a space of trust and presence. It’s time to let go of control and embrace a life with more ease and autonomy.
