“I had control issues all my life, especially as more abuse issues surfaced. When another memory was about to surface, I’d go into a cleaning frenzy in an effort to make everything clean and perfect—the opposite of the way I felt inside. It was a way for me to feel control over something in the face of my overwhelming emotions. As Ive dealt with the original issues, Ive naturally let go of those coping methods. When I notice any controlling behavior, I ask myself what Im afraid of and get to the root of the fear. Facing the origins of the fear helps me gain my power back instead of using control as an illusion of empowerment.” Christina Enevoldsen
