Licensed therapist Jess revealed four red flags to look out for in your relationship[/caption] She said that if they get triggered when you don’t do things their way it could be a sign of being in a controlling relationship[/caption]In a video, she said: “I’m a licensed therapist and one of the main things I get asked in a therapy session is how do I know if I’m in a relationship where the other person is controlling?”
She then shared the four red flags to look out for.
Firstly, Jess said: “They get triggered when you don’t do things their way or you don’t do the thing they want you to do.”
She continued: “The second one is that they react very negatively and over-the-top when you don’t do things they expect you to do.”
Jess said the third sign is when they easily point out your faults, but are never able to recognise their own.
She concluded: “The last sign is that they have very rigid expectations of how you should and should not be acting.”
The therapist added in the comments: “This may apply to members of your family or in a workplace setting – not just a romantic relationship.”
Many people were quick to react to the video, with one saying: “Thank you. I needed this.”

Another added: “Yup. I relate to this strongly.”
Meanwhile a third admitted: “What if I’m the controlling one? Why am I? How do I stop it?”
Jess replied: “If these resonate with you, it absolutely could be you. I’d pursue trauma informed therapy.”
