Today, we explore the theme of control and the anxiety that comes with it. It delves into the societal pressure to always know and be in control, which leads to overwhelm and anxiety. The evolutionary roots of this need for control are discussed, highlighting the human tendency to focus on survival rather than happiness. The conversation also touches on the guilt that often accompanies the need for control and the comparison trap that arises from societal expectations. The physical and emotional consequences of excessive worry and control are examined, including digestive issues, diseases, and agoraphobia.
