Episode 15: The Illusion of Control
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What is it we all want and can never attain long term? Control…that is why it is an illusion! Taking permanent control over life is like grabbing a fistfull of air…impossible! In this episode, we discuss the various ways different personality types try to maintain control to manage uncomfortable emotions. We unpack different strategies for leaning into the “Both/And” concept to work towards controlling the things we can in healthy ways, while also embracing flexibility of the unknown.
