#657: Childhood Trauma & the Need for Control
Manage episode 498565744 series 3236435
Controlling people aren’t always domineering. Sometimes, they’re just trying to survive pain they never processed.
In this episode, I unpack the hidden link between childhood trauma and controlling behavior—and why it’s not about being a “bad person,” but about old wounds that were never healed. If you’ve ever felt unsafe unless you were in charge of everything, this one’s for you.
