This week on the Freedom Camp Podcast, we explore the subtle, often invisible ways we perform, control, and people-please — not for power, but for protection.
💭 What if control isn’t about dominance...
but about feeling safe?
You’ll hear about how even “I’m fine” can be a mask, how shape-shifting to avoid conflict becomes second nature, and how the survival self can quietly run the show — even when your heart longs to rest.
✨ In this episode, we reflect on:
Why control is sometimes a trauma response, not a character flaw
How trying to manage others’ emotions keeps us from our own
A short breath prayer to practice laying it down — and coming home to rest
The invitation of Jesus: "Come to me, all you who are weary..." (no performance required)
This is your space to gently take off the mask, lay down what’s not yours to carry, and grow in freedom — one true breath at a time.
