  • Summary

  • When we try to control things around us, like other people or our environment, this is a safety mechanism.

    Our primal instinct is that when we feel under threat or feel let down, we immediately try and want to control the situation.

    We do this when:

    • We feel unsafe

    • Fearful that things are not going our way

    • The need to be right and get the last word in or prove someone wrong

    • We have assumed without complete understanding or discussion

    In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing some examples of how this behaviour shows up, and the impact it has on other people.

    You'll have an opportunity to reflect on where you might be trying to control other people and situations, and what you can do instead.
