I can't seem to let go of control. I know it's an issue. It's deeply embedded, comes from repairing myself after a difficult childhood, followed by traumatic experiences - and it served me very well for many years, got me far professionally (and personally).
But it no longer serves me. I'm VERY self-controlled - and will berate myself enormously if I fall short of standards. My self-judgment is enormous. But I know I'm also too controlling of my teen. Rightly, he stands up to it but I'd love to just LET GO and do it meaningfully.
But how?
