I'm happy to see you are working through it. It's not easy but I feel that the more you put forth, the more you'll get back.

Remember too "control" is a bit different than being told what to do, or being expected to act/be a certain way. Overprotectedness is a form of control. Being expected to succeed in any way. Being told you have great potential.. Etc. These are all ways that people/parents can exhibit control. It's just very subtle.

Rich is a great friend of mine and has written 2 amazing books. He also works with many people who have fears. He's a hypnotherapist. I valued his opinion because honestly, he sees this kind of thing every day.

I wish you all the best. Xo
