Therapist Susan Hagen on Self-Parenting and Inner-Child Healing

It's like knowing that we are potentially everything, and starting from there and not from this place where, well, I'm better than her, I've got one leg up or I've got- you know this, you know that- kind of like trying to inch our way into this mediocrity of oh, I've got a half-assed life here.
Imagine having a therapist who truly understands the journey of recovery because she's been there herself. That's Susan Hagen, a therapist in recovery, who sits down with Paul Gilmartin in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour'. Susan and Paul dive into the often misunderstood but powerful concepts of self-parenting and inner-child work. They chat about how these techniques can help you navigate life's discomforts and confusions.
Ever wondered where therapists draw the line on sharing their own experiences with clients? Susan sheds light on that too, offering a balanced perspective on the benefits and boundaries of self-revelation in therapy. Throughout their conversation, the importance of self-compassion shines through, highlighting how therapy and even simple acts like survey-taking can lead to profound healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of mental health and recovery.
