They are?
Imagine my surprise.

To me, control simply means being able to exchange the reality we have for the reality we want.

Just about everyone I know wants to do that.

Which means just about everyone is wishing and yearning and praying for more control.

Here’s the thing, though.

My work has taught me four basic truths:

1. We’re all addicted to control. We chase it day and night, awake and dreaming, out in the world and deep in our heads, consciously and unconsciously, constructively and destructively, from birth until death. 

2. This addiction causes most of our emotional and relationship problems.

3. Behind this addiction stands the wish to control feelings.

4. There are much, much better ways to manage feelings than control.

If any of these statements rings true to your experience, you may be interested in the group I’m forming for control addicts.*

Yes, it is possible to recover from control addiction.

We should talk.
