How do I stop being controlling?

Question

It's very bad,  to the point where I'm even manipulative. I just realized this today and did research on it. I also need a very good therapist.  I'm always trying to fix others, How do I work on me?

Answer

Hey, there. First of all, I want to point out that you are doing an amazing job "fixing yourself" already. It takes a lot to realize that there's something about yourself that needs change. It takes a lot to accept it and want to do everything in your power to change for the better. So be proud of yourself for that, you took a really big step in the right direction.
Therapy would probably be one of the best things you can do for yourself because they're trained in teaching you ways to retrain your brain and your way of thinking. They can find the root cause and give you tools to help yourself.
I'm also controlling and manipulative because I want to fix people, so your post hit right at home for me. My intentions aren't ill, but I know it's not right to control and manipulate people. I didn't realize I was doing it for a long time. When I finally realized, I became depressed. How do I stop doing something that I've always done? How do I change my way of thinking?
It's not impossible, though it seems that way. The mind is a powerful thing. My best advice to you is when you feel yourself thinking that your way is better and you want the other person to do it that way, stop. Give yourself a mental time out. Remind yourself that it isn't your place. I know it's hard. Sometimes it's really hard to accept other people for how they are when you know that if you could just tweak them a little bit, they'd be perfect. But ultimately, we can't change other people. They need to initiate the change in themselves. Just like what you and I need to do for ourselves. Practice acceptance. I'm in the same boat as you. Find a good therapist that you can trust. Good luck, girl. You're in my thoughts. You got this.
