God & Man
Children of overprotective parents have issues with the concept of control as adults.
They despise losing control but they also resentbeingcontrolled.
Saying they cant do something becomes more of a challenge than a demand.
Even a perceived attempt at trying to control them can cause someone who had overprotective parents to feel threatened.
This is usually because they had none of it to begin with as children.
These deep-seated issues with perfectionism can manifest in many different ways from the innocuous to the destructive.
In trying to control things, they tend to lose more control.
This is a habit that was ingrained in them as children.
They develop disparate inner parts or personas that represent the parts they repressed as children or teenagers.
As children, they were taught to not be naughty whatever that meant to their overprotective parents.
These personas can represent everything fromThe Party GirltoThe NymphtoThe Rage Machine.
What they have to learn, however, is that its okay to be authentic and imperfect as well.
However, balance is essential.
What they did, who they interacted with, and how well they achieved always came under heavy scrutiny.
As a result, they may be overly anxious about how others are assessing them or what people think.
The trick is to start to slowly replace that critical inner voice and distinguish it from your own.
Refocus on your own intuition and rebuild a sense of confidence that is separate from your upbringing.
