b'
This week the therapists grapple with the things they can and can\\u2019t control in their partners and in their relationships.
Iona\\u2019s husband is having some issues with his family of origin and she wants to protect him from the fallout, but he refuses to let her. She feels frustrated and her anxiety cannot be soothed by controlling the situation, because he won\\u2019t cooperate! Pam also has a family member in her life\\xa0 who creates anxiety for her husband. She puts boundaries up around him in the same way that Steve puts boundaries up around Iona. Pam and Steve are stressed out having to deal with us!
What\\u2019s underneath this need for control? How can we support our family members short of controlling them? Listen in and learn how to support your loved one without putting your own agenda front and centre!
