What happens when we try to control everything—including how we love, protect, or isolate ourselves? In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Eddie Eccker reflects on the subtle but costly drift toward self-worship—what happens when we place ourselves at the center of every decision, emotion, and relationship. Through honest insight and a grounded conversation, he explores how the pursuit of autonomy and emotional self-sufficiency can quietly destroy intimacy, limit growth, and leave us lonelier than ever. If you’ve ever been praised for being “strong” while quietly falling apart, this episode is for you.
