Have you ever tried to control a situation or a person (including yourself) in an attempt to increase your own happiness or freedom, only to find that your efforts were wasted ... or even made things worse? Without understanding the true roots (and ironic limitations) of control, we rarely succeed; yet, it is so common to try to find safety and comfort this way, we often don't even realize we're doing it. No wonder we feel frustrated and ineffective! This session provides a fresh perspective and introduces my "totem pole" technique for finding deep, genuine release.
