All right, today I'm going to talk about a topic that is really important in relationships,
and there's different ways to think about it,
some different aspects to it that I'm going to go over.
And the topic I want to talk about is control.
And obviously, when we think about relationships and control,
you can think about controlling people or people who are controlling partners, things like that.
And I'll talk a little bit about that.
