Welcome to MONKEYTRAPS.

This is a blog about the oldest human addiction: control.

It’s co-authored by Steve, a therapist who specializes in control issues, and Bert, his control-addicted inner monkey.

(Bert is a metaphor. Steve’s mostly real.)

For a fuller explanation of what this is all about, click on CONTROL: AN INTRODUCTION and MEET MY MONKEY above.

Feedback welcome, always.

Glad you found us.
