23.0 How Your Desire to Control Exploits People

Where's all my fellow control freaks, perfectionists, and people pleasers at?  In this week's episode we talk about how your desire to control exploits the very people that you love (or maybe even those that you don't), and how it is also exploitative to you. The toxic patriarchy has its roots in contempt and trying to control others (or ourselves) to try and get others to do what we want or be who we want them to be (as well as trying to contort ourselves to being a certain way so that we will be loved and accepted) is exploitation of the other. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and what you can do when you find yourself falling into that pattern.
