ShrinkChicks

Trying to Control the Uncontrollable


Listen Later

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking all about control: why it feels so good, where the desire for control can come from, and how to start releasing it. They answer your questions about letting go of perfectionism when it has been a helpful skill, working past what things are "supposed to" be or look like, trusting other people to take the lead, fears behind releasing control, and if control is just an illusion. They then answer a Dear Em & Jen about adjusting goals and your life path after getting into a relationship. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
