This internal mine, mine mine focus, is very limited. It only allows to see my point of view and no one else's, and this self-centered way never seems to work out, because it leads to hurt and anger and disappointment.
Imagine feeling entitled to everything around you, from parking spots to appointment times. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Brandler Bits', therapist Jeffrey M. Brandler tackles the possessive nature of the word 'my' and how it reveals deeper issues of self-centeredness and control. Jeffrey shares vivid examples, like someone claiming a public parking spot with a cone or a potential client demanding a specific appointment time before even meeting him.
These stories highlight how such behaviors stem from fear and insecurity, leading to a cycle of entitlement and disappointment. Jeffrey doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; he offers practical advice for breaking free from this mindset. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and lower their defensive barriers to foster healthier, more meaningful relationships. As a bonus, Jeffrey introduces his newest family member, a terrier, adding a personal touch to the episode.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand the roots of possessive behavior and seeking actionable steps to lead a more fulfilling life.
