So I control you in order to control me and control me in order to control you, and if you're a control addict, you do the same and the boundary between us gets impossibly blurred.
Have you ever felt the need to control everything around you, only to realize it’s taking a toll on your well-being? In this episode of 'MonkeyTraps', Steve Hauptman takes listeners through Chapter 6 of his book, focusing on the intricate dance between external and internal forms of control. Steve, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker and addiction expert, breaks down these concepts in a way that’s easy to grasp yet profoundly impactful.
External control involves trying to manage people, places, and things around us. Internal control, on the other hand, is about managing our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The tricky part? Control addicts often blur the lines between the two, leading to confusion and frustration. Imagine trying to find inner peace by controlling everything outside of you—sounds exhausting, right? Steve’s insights offer a fresh perspective on how to recognize these patterns and start letting go.
Through engaging storytelling and practical advice, this episode provides valuable tools for anyone looking to loosen the grip of control in their lives. Whether you're struggling with control addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find this episode both enlightening and empowering.
