I want to be less controlling - how do I do this?

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?

If you can relate, please do suggest
