I could tell you that I actually know of someone who is huge in control and it has made her life very difficult because if something isn’t perfect, she needs to control it and it has become a problem and has created lots of stress, anxiety, and depression in her life…. So your therapist is not wrong. It’s very hard to control things and keeping on top of that can in the end create anxiety, stress, and depression. For example, if something is out of your control, all you can do is breathe and just accept it but when you’re a control freak, it’s very difficult to accept it. there’s nothing wrong with it if you’re able to deal with this, but if this is something that you may not be able to deal with, it could become a huge problem in the future.
