'This book made me stop and look at the ways I've tried to keep myself safe that are no longer serving me. Kati doesn't shame us for our coping - she helps us understand it' JONATHAN VAN NESS

Many of us have been told since childhood that we need to keep it together, be less dramatic or toughen up. As we got older, our upsets can be dismissed, labelled as overreactions or even seen as embarrassing. These toxic ideas teach us to stuff our feelings down, ignore our instincts and worry more about how we're perceived than how we actually feel.

For licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton, it wasn't until she was on the verge of burnout that she recognized the pattern. Like so many of us, Kati was trapped in an endless cycle of trying to control everything around her. The to-do lists, emotions, relationships-the very things we are trained to keep under control-become the things that harm our relationships, our well-being and ultimately, ourselves.

Why Do I Keep Doing This? is a vital toolkit that will unpack why we do this to ourselves, where it comes from, and most importantly, how to finally let go in a way that doesn't feel like free-falling. This is your guide to understanding how control is at the root of our people-pleasing tendencies and how to finally break the cycle.
