It still hasn't stopped, and that's a beautiful thing that I'm trying to relate to you is that it's never too late to re-parent ourselves.
Ever feel like something's holding you back in your relationships? In this episode of The Mental Health Toolbox Podcast, psychotherapist Patrick Martin dives into the common barriers to effective communication and relationships. Fear, low self-esteem, and ingrained behavior patterns are the main culprits he addresses. Patrick explains how fear, often rooted in anxiety, can prevent us from forming healthy connections. Low self-esteem, another significant obstacle, can distort our self-view and interactions with others.
He also discusses how our early life experiences shape our current behavior patterns, often leading us to operate on autopilot. But there's hope! Patrick shares practical strategies for re-parenting ourselves, changing our thought processes, and experimenting with new social skills. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into an upcoming interview with Dr. Lori Watley on the impact of technology on families and businesses. Tune in to learn how to break down these barriers and build stronger, healthier relationships.
