The Wound of Control
This wound almost always comes from childhood trauma. Whether it was really dark and bad or something relatively common, the significance is that it affected you on a core level. It could have been physical, sexual, emotional, financial, psychological. Everything from exploitation, to abuse, to violence, abandonment and destruction. But whatever it was, it involved some sort of control. Today you have this wound of control because you felt such a lack of control as a child when terrible things were happening. The effect of this wound is to keep us stuck in our trauma, so it’s important to face it but move on with your eyes on the present. Do you have a lack of boundaries? It might be hard to understand healthy relationships, where there is mutual respect, and an equal give and take. This wound manifests as either needing to control others or to be controlled. It can show up physically emotionally mentally spiritually financially sexually. Some use sex as a means of power and control in their relationships. Alternatively, this wound can make you paranoid, power hungry, obsessed with death and darkness. But these are all different attempts to control the outcome of something. It might be the underlying theme in your life, that you’re always trying to either gain control or give up control around something. And it might be very hard for you to trust. Which makes it hard to put down your emotional walls. So relationships are never easy.
Your superpower is that you’re inherently powerful. Which makes you fearless, safe and trusting, and draws people to you like a magnet.
