As a recovering "control freak," I can tell you when things felt a bit out of control in my life in the past, it was often very triggering for me.
Feeling powerless can be emotionally triggering in any painful situation when you are not healthily processing your emotions. Therefore, whether welcomed...
A few years ago, I remembered looking at my life and realizing I had a blueprint of what a happy life should look like and then some, yet I also wondered why I felt so darn lonely.
