Finding Balance: Locus of Control and Attributions with Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes

With an internal locus of control, people think I'm fully in charge of my destiny and everything that happens, whereas an external locus of control- and we're talking extremes- my destiny lies fully in the hands of fate.
Ever feel like life is just happening to you? Or maybe you think you're the master of your own destiny? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes is here to shed some light on these feelings in this episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast. She dives into the concept of locus of control, which is basically about how much power you think you have over your own life.
An internal locus of control means you believe you're in charge, while an external one means you think fate or other people hold the reins. Neither extreme is ideal, but finding a middle ground can bring balance and resilience. Dr. Snipes doesn't just stop at explaining the theory. She goes further to discuss attributions, which are the reasons we give for why things happen. How we attribute events in our lives can significantly impact our mental health and overall well-being.
By understanding these concepts, you can start to see what's within your control and what's not, making it easier to manage stress and anxiety. This episode is packed with practical advice and tools that are useful for everyone—from counselors and coaches to anyone dealing with mental health challenges or addiction. Dr. Snipes also touches on how these concepts can help in managing chronic conditions and trauma.
So, if you're looking for ways to feel more empowered and improve your mental health, this episode offers some valuable insights. And for those in the counseling profession, there's an added bonus: you can earn continuing education credits by listening. But even if you're just someone looking to better understand yourself and your place in the world, Dr. Snipes' wisdom is sure to be enlightening.
