Control is the mother of all motivations. Every human ever born has craved it and chased it, because it's a craving that is literally built into us.

In this episode, Steve Hauptman, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker and addiction expert, dives into the first chapter of his book, 'MonkeyTraps', to unravel the concept of control addiction.

Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Hauptman sheds light on how this addiction can take hold and offers practical advice on how to break free from its grip.
