The core symptom
The White Temple, Thailand
If on first encountering the Laundry List you found it confusing, you’re not alone.
Fortunately I can simplify it for you.
Because behind those thirteen traits is one core symptom that explains all the others.
It is hinted at by item number 8…
You over-react to changes
beyond your control.
…and item number 13:
You tend to lock yourself
into a course of action
without thinking through
alternatives or consequences.
This creates confusion,
self-loathing and
loss of control over
your environment.
At the heart of all the adult child’s problems lies control addiction.
