"Licensed family and marriage therapist Kati Morton explores [the] common struggle and contradiction with control. [She] shows how our upbringing and anxiety are often connected to our struggle to take up space. We can feel like we are too much by just existing in the same place as someone else, or that we are less deserving of their time and care. This struggle with asserting ourselves, or taking what we require, can harm our development. We sometimes think the only way to feel okay and get what we need is to please everyone else first. [This book may help] us understand why control can be so attractive, but if left unmonitored can become detrimental to our lives"--
