Rob Dial: 我将讨论控制欲问题,以及如何克服它。许多人都有控制欲,这是一种试图掌控一切的行为模式,会损害人际关系、事业和内心平静。我自己也曾有严重的控制欲,这源于我童年时期的不确定性(父亲酗酒,15岁去世),而试图控制一切只会适得其反,损害我的事业和人际关系。 控制欲是童年时期形成的应对机制,并非性格缺陷,它源于不安全或不可预测的环境,是孩子为了寻求安全感而采取的无意识行为。孩子们天生具有适应性,在不安全的环境中,他们倾向于将责任归咎于自己,以维持与父母的依附关系。童年时期控制欲的表现形式包括:努力成为好孩子、过度关注他人情绪、保持整洁、试图解决他人问题、讨好他人等,这些都是为了寻求安全感。 童年时期有效的控制策略在成年后可能会演变成完美主义、过度管理、焦虑、不信任他人等问题,这是一种神经系统对安全感的联结。控制欲在成年后的表现形式包括:难以放松、过度检查他人工作、不信任他人、过度关注他人情绪、讨好他人、过度依赖联系等,这些都会损害人际关系。控制欲在工作和育儿中的表现形式包括:过度工作、追求完美、难以休息、过度保护孩子、对孩子设定过高标准等,这些都会带来身心疲惫。控制欲在自我认知中的表现是:所有事情都归咎于自己,难以放松,内在声音像个失望的父母。 控制欲的根源在于神经系统,童年时期的不安全感导致大脑的杏仁核(恐惧中心)过度活跃,前额叶皮层(决策中心)发育受阻,最终导致身体而非意识控制行为。控制欲的背后往往是悲伤,是对缺失的童年、缺失的关爱的悲伤,以及对不得不独自创造安全感的悲伤。治愈控制欲的关键在于建立信任,重新建立与内在小孩的联系,并学习放手,允许自己放松。重新做父母,给予内在小孩安全感和关爱,告诉他们可以放下负担。写信给内心的孩子,表达你的理解和支持,允许自己感受并释放痛苦。放下控制欲并非软弱,而是智慧,学会信任,允许事情自然发展。

  • Control issues stem from childhood experiences of uncertainty and lack of safety.
  • They are coping mechanisms, not character flaws.
