The freedom we gain when we give up control
from Screw the Hierarchy · host Debra S Falzoi
Abusers typically learned to focus on power and control at a young age. When we try to control them back after they grab our personal power, we end up attempting to use control on them after control harmed us. But we know we can't control others. We can incentivize them, we can inspire them, and we can lead them, but we ultimately can't control them. In this episode, I talk about how letting go can lead to freedom — and what we CAN decide to control instead.
