What happens when your childhood is a mix of love and confusion? In this episode of 'One Day I Decided', therapist Alyssa opens up about her journey through a tangled family dynamic and the impact it had on her self-worth. Growing up with divorced parents, Alyssa faced a whirlwind of emotions that led to a harsh inner critic and a lack of self-compassion. But instead of letting these challenges define her, she found solace and strength in therapy.
Alyssa's early experiences with therapy not only helped her heal but also inspired her to become a therapist herself, guiding others towards self-compassion. She shares how understanding and accepting one's feelings can be transformative, especially for those grappling with addiction and trauma. Through candid storytelling, Alyssa illustrates the importance of treating oneself with kindness and empathy, viewing oneself as a friend rather than a critic.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that healing is an ongoing journey, and self-compassion is a vital part of that process. Tune in to hear Alyssa's inspiring story and learn how you can start nurturing your own self-compassion.
