Can we overcome our childhoods? | feat. Lori Gottlieb

Somewhere in the rows and rows of office cubicles that make up the emotional business of our brains, there’s one employee hellbent on burning the whole place down. Her name…is childhood. Is it possible to pry ourselves from her fiery grasp? Or are we destined to live with one hand on the fire extinguisher? Psychotherapist and bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Lori Gottlieb, offers a way to set our childhoods free: changing the stories we tell ourselves.

A few of the curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode:

• Why we’re all unreliable narrators of our life
• The long-term impacts of talking our kids out of feeling what they’re feeling
• The 3 questions to ask ourselves to help rid of negative self-talk
