There may come a time in each of our lives when we feel as though we’re no longer steering the ship. That no matter how hard we try, something—or someone—else is at the helm. In those moments, a powerful emotion may take root: Lack of Control. And yet, it’s one of the least talked about feelings we hold onto, often hidden beneath frustration, anxiety, and fatigue.
Through the lens of emotional healing and energy work, we come to understand that there are two primary expressions of this emotion. Both can deeply affect our sense of self, our confidence, and our relationship with the world around us.
The Two Faces of Lack of Control
1. Lack of Self-Control (Internal):
This form of the emotion shows up when we feel a disconnect between our intentions and our actions. It’s the moment when we promise ourselves we’ll change a habit or pause before reacting—but instead we repeat patterns we wish we could outgrow. It can feel like battling ourselves, watching from the sidelines as we override our own inner wisdom. Shame, guilt, or discouragement often follow.
2. Lack of Control Over Circumstances (External):
This expression emerges when we feel powerless in the face of life’s unpredictability. Whether it’s health concerns, financial stress, relationship dynamics, or unexpected change, this type of lack of control can create a sense of helplessness. We may feel that the course of our life is being determined by forces outside of our grasp—and we’re just trying to keep up.
Trapped Emotions and the Weight We Carry
The Emotion Code, a profound method of energy healing created by Dr. Bradley Nelson, teaches that unresolved emotions can become trapped in the body and energy field. These trapped emotions can affect our physical health, our emotional responses, and even the way we perceive the world.
A trapped emotion like Lack of Control doesn’t always originate from a recent event. Sometimes, it has been quietly lingering from a childhood experience, a past heartbreak, or a moment we no longer consciously remember. Other times, it may not even be ours—it could be inherited energetically or absorbed from someone close to us.
The beautiful truth is this: We can release it.
The Power of Releasing
When we gently and intentionally release the emotion of Lack of Control, we make space for clarity, calm, and empowerment. We begin to notice that our reactions soften. We feel more grounded. We start to trust that while we can’t always control the world around us, we can choose how we show up in it.
Even the internal struggle—those moments when we feel as though we’ve let ourselves down—can become opportunities for compassion. With healing, we remember that we’re not broken. We’re evolving.
