What Grey's Anatomy Taught Michael Stoller About Building Better Relationships
It makes me think for me and my family and me and my friends, how often I make people feel small, make people feel stupid, that I have my master's degree from The University Of Chicago, that I'm a therapist and not just a therapist.
Ever found yourself binge-watching a show and unexpectedly stumbling upon a life lesson? Michael Stoller did just that with Grey's Anatomy. In this episode, Michael shares a surprising insight he gained from a Season 3 scene featuring George O'Malley and his dad. The heartfelt conversation between George and his father made Michael reflect on his own relationships and how he sometimes unintentionally makes others feel small or unimportant.
With his background as a therapist and a master's degree, Michael realized he might come off as intimidating or aloof, even to those closest to him. He opens up about his struggles to connect with family and friends who don't share his interests, yet emphasizes the importance of empathy, kindness, and effort in bridging those gaps. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on nurturing your relationships, Michael's reflections might just hit home.
