Marci, a mother of three, made a pact with herself: by her next birthday, she’d throw in the towel if her husband didn’t shape up. His unpredictability was unbearable and she couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Until he finally admitted to being addicted to drugs. Since he also refused treatment, Marci divorced him. She couldn’t betray herself and her children by continuing with the status quo.

Why did Marci feel freedom instead of the common overwhelm many feel when becoming a single parent? How did divorce during COVID lead her to leave her corporate job and become the life coach she’d yearned to be? In what ways did her excitement about where she was headed dampen the grief over not having the life she’d expected? What kind of role reversal did her kids do to help her get back into dating again?

What happens when a Columbia-trained psychologist, working with high performers, cannot find a way to cure his own depression? He thinks of suicide. He wishes the train would take him out as he crosses the tracks some day driving home from work. And then one day doing his morning journaling, he asks a couple of different questions and a new answer lands in his lap. It gives him a way to move forward while also getting better outcomes for his patients.

Why is psychotherapy so inept in actually helping people feel better? What part does helping us feel our emotions have in healing? Why didn’t understanding his own trauma history help Ardeshir feel any better, and what did? Learn how the Emotional Bill of Rights may help heal your emotional distress. Hear about Ardeshir’s journey to discovering that he was depressed and how that led to giving up his profession in the way he was trained to work.
