Have you ever heard of the term "make sureing?" Today, we delve into a term coined by Dr. Jennifer Dragonette to describe our frantic attempts to control situations or emotions beyond our control.  Though often well-intentioned, we explore how this behavior can lead to unintended consequences, especially within family dynamics and relationships. Dr. Jen sheds light on the evolution of “make sureing” and its impact on those doing the make sureing and those being made sured.  Dr. Jen explains how this behavior can inadvertently undermine the competence of others, leading to feelings of resentment and power struggles. I share personal anecdotes about the balancing act of managing a large family, while Dr. Jen offers practical advice on how to shift from controlling behaviors to more supportive approaches.  We also touch upon how these concepts apply beyond the family setting, especially in career transitions and times of emotional stress.
