Please could you talk about a subject that you have probably addressed, directly or indirectly, a thousand times already – control!
I am tying myself in knots trying to formulate the question…
I get that trying to be in control IS the problem and keeps the illusion alive that we can be safe.
Because of this understanding I seem to have dropped the trying to be in control. This appears in many areas of my life, but one in particular is my behaviour around overeating/comforting, where I now feel totally out of control.
Am I using my understanding as an excuse to do whatever I want?
Where and how do I get to the place where my system does what is in its own best interests. And yet doesn’t it anyway?
You talked in a recent podcast about treating the body like a pet, giving it good food and exercise etc. But when I am out of control I don’t care about any of that, I am in full-on self destruct.
I hope you are able to extract from this what I don’t know how to ask!
