Hello,
Is it possible to be a victim of a "controlling spirit" in a church? Is there such a thing?

Yes.

Many Christians want to control the environment that they exist in. They have a controlling spirit.

The need to control is because firstly, things are out of control in the controllers reality.
When folk are 'telling you' using words like 'should' you can be assured they consider their opinion superior.
Lots of words usually accompany this approach.

Can we assume you mean the normal corporate group-think all human groups have, and not a literal "spirit"?

Blessings Azim! Indeed there is. I worked with one. Stand firm and say no when needed.

Thank you. I did that this week. A huge weight has been lifted off of me, as I officially left my home church for good.
