60: "I am so controlling of my partner but I don't know how to stop. Help!"

<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">If you experience relationship anxiety, you might be familiar with the urge to try to change your partner so that you can feel better about your decision to be with them, and stop doubting the relationship so much! You’re not alone. It can be so hard to change this pattern, but I believe it can be done with some determination, patience, and humility. This episode can help you trust your partner (and your decisions) more, restore intimacy and closeness, and start moving you in the direction of the relationship you desire.</p> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"> </p> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">SUPER exciting: join me on Patreon!
