Control is often easy to recognize in others but much harder to recognize in ourselves. We may see it as being responsible, protective, organized, or simply wanting things done the right way. But beneath controlling behavior, there is often something deeper taking place. Fear of being hurt. Fear of being rejected. Fear of failure. Fear of uncertainty. Fear that if we loosen our grip, everything ma...

The stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape how we see ourselves, interpret our experiences, and respond to the people around us. We may tell ourselves, I’m not good enough. I always mess things up. No one can be trusted. I have to keep everyone happy. If people knew the real me, they would reject me. These stories often begin in painful experiences, difficult relationships, childhood wo...

Pain has a way of convincing us to hide. We hide the memories we are ashamed of, the emotions we do not understand, the struggles we are afraid to admit, and the parts of our stories we believe others might judge or reject. We tell ourselves that if we keep the pain buried, we can move forward—but what remains hidden often continues to influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond...

In this episode of the Heal and Restore Podcast, we’re asking a thought-provoking question: If you were married to yourself, would you enjoy the relationship?
