Radically Open is an evidence based model (aka, the kind you can really trust) that treats OVERCONTROL. What the hell is that? Glad you asked. Overcontrol takes your anxiety and depression symptoms and makes them chronic and treatment-resistant. And then adds a whopping side dish of perfectionism. Simply, over control is a term for people who have so much self control they can suppress their emotion, out work most everyone, and end up victim to their own perfectionism.
