- Illusion of Security:
Only by controlling every aspect of the plan can you reduce the fear of "sudden events". - Blurred Boundaries:
Equating the state of others in relationships with a sense of self-stability. - Projection of past trauma:
Your previous chaotic experiences have made you "have to hold on tight" now.
