Control Shadow Mini Journal (PDF) eBook

The Control Shadow often has its roots in early experiences where independence and safety were denied. This can occur in childhood through overly strict, abusive, or manipulative caregivers, or later in life through controlling or restrictive romantic relationships.

Healing controlling tendencies means surrendering to the flow of life and recognizing that you are safe even when you are not in charge of every detail. When you redirect control inward, with focus on making your own choices, healing your own wounds, setting your own values-based boundaries, and embracing your authenticity, you reclaim the genuine sense of security you were searching for all along. Peace and freedom become possible as you learn to live in the present moment instead of rehearsing imagined futures.  Contains: topic summary, journaling prompts, and lined pages
