#2 Reinventing Your Life (Young & Klosko, 1993)

Listen Later

This episode we spoke about Young & Klosko's book 'Re-inventing Your Life'. We looked past the cringe-worthy title and took a deep dive into the schemas that affect our world-view and behaviours. We dissected each of the 11 'Life Traps' that emerge out of our most basic (unmet) needs. We unpack where these come from, how they persist, how to cope, and what we can do to challenge them and bring about new ways of living and relating.

Hope you enjoy.
