Control — it’s one of the biggest hidden struggles in relationships. Whether it comes from fear, insecurity, or childhood experiences, the need to control often pushes away the very connection we crave.

In this episode of the Why Is This So Challenging Podcast, we dive deep into how control shows up in relationships, where it comes from, and how to transform it into healthy collaboration and understanding.

We discuss:
🧠 The childhood roots of control and how they shape adult relationships
💬 The Three Cs Solution — Collaboration, Compensation, and Communication
❤️ How to address control issues with compassion, not conflict
⚖️ Finding the balance between leadership and control in healthy love

Our goal is to help you recognize the patterns that keep you stuck, and empower you to create relationships that feel safe, balanced, and deeply connected.

We approach this topic with compassion and understanding, offering real solutions for those who want to grow past control and build trust, freedom, and teamwork in their relationships. You’re not alone — healing starts with awareness, and connection begins when control ends. 💕
