About this listen

Why do we cling so tightly to control — over ourselves, our relationships, even the people we love? In this episode of The Fire That Makes Us, Dr. Shahrzad Jalali explores how control can feel like safety, yet often becomes a cage. Drawing from her clinical work and personal journey, she unpacks the hidden fears beneath the urge to control: fear of loss, fear of chaos, fear of not being enough. Through story and psychology, she offers listeners a way forward — how loosening control can actually create more stability, connection, and freedom.
