“Hand Over Control

If anyone has ever called you a control freak, recognize that your controlling ways and hesitancy about letting other people do things their way is likely to be anxiety related. Your thinking patterns may be related to fears that other people won’t do tasks to a standard that’s acceptable to you, which may or may not be true in any given instance. Or your controllingness might be related to “should” thinking errors, along the lines of “I should be able to do everything myself,” or fears that needing help is a sign of being a weak person.
A behavioral experiment you can try is delegating or outsourcing tasks you feel overwhelmed by.”
