In this episode, Jay discusses personal powerlessness. Seeking to control people, events, and outcomes leads to anxiety and depression, mainly because we as individuals do not have control over others. Jay also discusses steps we can take to release the need to control others and offers some helpful steps and skills we can use to release that need and return to center.
