3 de septiembre de 2026 · 46 min

Notas del episodio

Most of us aren't "controlling people" by nature. We are usually caring people whose desperation has compelled us try and fix what we already know is beyond our ability to control. But underneath the need to control is often something deeper: fear. And that fear has convinced us that it's our job to fix, manage, and hold everything together.


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How to identify the root of what you're truly afraid of.
  • The four components of fear — and how understanding them can change the way you respond.
  • Healthy ways to process and respond the next time someone or something feels out of control.
