Many of us develop a strong need to control our environment, circumstances, or relationships as a way to feel safe, orderly, and predictable. This habit often arises from past traumas and fear of uncertainty, and it can tighten into patterns of anxiety, tension, disconnection, and resistance to life’s natural rhythm. This recording targets the root of those control patterns, helping you release the illusion of control and open to trust, flow, and greater peace—each listen revealing new facets of your journey.
A deep-seated desire to control our environment, circumstances, and even the people in our lives is a way to create a sense of safety, order and predictability. However, this need for control often stems from past traumas and a fear of uncertainty, keeping us trapped in patterns of anxiety, tension, disconnection, and resistance to life's natural flow. It can also have a very damaging and stifling impact on our relationships, pushing away the ones we love.
The need to control everything often stems from unresolved trauma, particularly experiences where a person felt powerless or unsafe. When individuals encounter situations in which they have no control, especially in childhood, it creates a deep-seated fear of unpredictability and vulnerability. To cope with this fear, people develop a subconscious need to control their external environment, relationships, and outcomes. This control mechanism becomes a way to avoid potential pain or chaos, as they believe that maintaining control will prevent them from being hurt again. However, this leads to rigidity, anxiety, and disconnection from others, as the need for control ultimately stems from a lack of trust—in both the self and the world around them.
In this powerful clearing, we will uncover the root causes of your control patterns—exploring how they may have formed as survival mechanisms in times of powerlessness, unpredictability and feeling unsafe. By clearing these energetic blocks, you will begin to release the illusion of control and open yourself to trust, flow, and greater peace in your life.
