I think the main differences in the reasons for resistance to change versus resistance to control stem are that they stem from different places. Resistance to change generally stems from an inherently conservative, reactionary place. One way or another, resistance to change boils down to fear (of something new or different, of losing ones existing status or power) whereas resistance to control is the opposite. Resistance to control generally comes from a desire to want to maintain ones own power or sense of independence, not necessarily from a fear of change.

The two are similar, however, in that there is an element of fear in both. At the end of the day, people are afraid of new things or of things they dont understand and the best way to overcome that is to educate people and promote understanding.

Overcoming resistance to control is more difficult generally, because people will fight for what they currently have, not what they fear might happen to them. Giving up self-determination (or the perception of it) is a longer, harder struggle than giving up the status quo.
