Controlling, in short, is as reflexive, an inevitable response as slapping a mosquito that's biting.
What happens when our internal expectations clash with reality? Steve Hauptman, in Chapter 3 of his book 'Monkeytraps', takes us on a journey through the maze of control addiction. Hauptman, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, unpacks the concept of control addiction, revealing how we carry around mental snapshots of how we think life should be. When reality doesn't match these snapshots, we often feel compelled to control our surroundings and the people in them.
This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it also provides listeners with tools to recognize and manage their own tendencies to control. Hauptman's insights are both eye-opening and practical, offering a unique lens through which to view our daily struggles with control. Whether you're grappling with control issues yourself or trying to understand someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives that can help you navigate these challenges more effectively.
