You don't need to control life in order to feel safe.
Ever wondered why you feel the need to control your partner's behavior when they're struggling with addiction? In this episode of 'Your Partner's Addiction', Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy tackles this complex issue head-on. She dives into the psychology behind our urge to control and explains why it's actually safe—and beneficial—to let go of this impulse.

Through relatable examples and personal anecdotes, Karilyn illustrates how the desire for control can subtly manifest in relationships. She emphasizes that this isn't about blaming anyone but understanding our own responses. The first step towards emotional liberation, she suggests, is creating a safe environment for yourself.
Karilyn encourages listeners to trust their instincts and establish clear standards and boundaries. She also shares a personal story about resolving a significant conflict with her partner, highlighting the importance of healthy conflict resolution. Ultimately, Karilyn reminds us that while we may not have all the answers, having a clear understanding of our own boundaries can help mitigate risks in relationships affected by addiction.
If you're ready to take control of your emotional well-being, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
