Control issues, people-pleasing, fawning, and CPTSD—Tim explains how complex trauma shapes these patterns and what healing can look like in adulthood.
Why do some people feel the need to control everything around them? Why do others lose touch with their own needs and emotions? In this talk, Tim breaks down how both patterns can form in childhood—especially in homes where safety, consistency, and emotional attunement were missing. He explains how controlling behaviors and people-pleasing often develop as survival responses in kids who grew up around chaos, neglect, or emotional unpredictability.
