Episode notes

This chapter delves into the benefits and challenges of therapy, highlighting the importance of exploring difficult emotions in a safe space. The speakers share personal experiences and insights on how therapy has helped them understand their shadow side and navigate deep-rooted emotions such as anger. The discussion also touches on setting boundaries and the fear of alienating loved ones during the process of emotional healing.

Abby opens up about starting therapy and the work she’s been doing to unearth and express uncomfortable emotions like anger and sadness. She shares her long-held fear that if she feels and expresses her full self, people will leave her.

In a profound moment, Abby shares a deep longing to truly love herself. She explains that this love has been clouded by messages she’s received since childhood which have led to difficulty trusting others, equating anger with not being okay, and a feeling like something is “wrong” with her.
