Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• It’s all just one big checking balance, so a healthy-looking number tells me I can spend
• Guarding my focus time makes me feel guilty and a little unreachable, like I’m leaving people stranded
• Everything still funnels through me because I own the outcome, so I can’t hand off the actual doing without feeling like I’ve let it go entirely
• I keep clinging to the stock that’s tanking, finishing the meal I’m too full to enjoy, staying in things that have clearly failed
• I put someone on the hook for the result but kept all the real decisions and the budget myself, so now they have to come ask my permission for every little thing and the whole thing crawls and stalls.

9. Radical Openness: The RO-DBT Approach to Overcontrol and Loneliness
   Radical Openness is the central skill of Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), a treatment developed by Thomas Lynch for people who suffer not from impulsivity but from overcontrol — excessive self-restraint, rigidity, and difficulty expressing emotions or receiving feedback. The core practice is developing genuine willingness to be influenced by new information and other people, rather than protecting existing beliefs and behavioral patterns.
