F*ck the Rules of Love

RULE #9: Control Feels Safer Than Trust


Listen Later

In this episode of Fuck the Rules of Love, we’re diving into why feeling the need to control your partner can feel safer than trusting them - and what’s really going on underneath the control.

We’ll cover:
✨ How control is often just a nervous system survival strategy, not nastiness
✨ The sneaky ways controlling behaviors show up, even when you think you’re being chill
✨ Why overthinking, molding yourself, or trying to manage your partner keeps you in a false sense of safety
✨ How awareness and understanding your blind spots can change your relationship for good
✨ Why letting go of control is essential for real intimacy and connection

Honest, unfiltered, and deeply reflective - this episode breaks down control, uncovers its roots, and guides you toward more authentic, connected, and grounded relationships.
