EP053 Being Controlling Without Even Knowing It

Welcome to episode 53 where we look at some of the subtle and nuanced ways we can be controlling in our communication, and ways to change that. You might be surprised by the many common ways we interact and the impact on the emotional safety of our connection with others.

In this episode we get honest about all the little ways we can be fear-based and thus controlling in our communication, and how bringing fear into our conversations makes it difficult to have healthy, vulnerable connections. 

Key Elements:

• Contrast the subtle ways we can control, versus vulnerable connection.
• Explore ways we can create a sense of “not feeling emotionally safe” and the cost of doing so.
• Talk about how bringing just a little self-awareness and self-discipline can bring about big changes.

Never speak out of anger,

Never act out of fear,

Never choose from impatience,

But wait... and peace will appear.

- Guy Finley
