Are there parts of you that you try to push away? I've definitely rejected the part of me that's scared of rejection. Denial, numbing and overriding only brings short term relief. Listen in as adoptee and therapist Joellen shares what she's learned about embracing all of herself so we can embrace all of ourselves.

Here's a bit about Joellen from her website 

I am a clinical psychologist with over twenty years of private practice experience doing individual, couples, family therapy and psychological testing.  I received a doctorate degree from The University of Texas at Austin in Clinical Psychology.  I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, Filial and Child-Focused Play therapies.  My work integrates attachment, psychodynamic, neurobiological and CBT theories.  Finally, I have an extensive background working with all members of the adoption triad. This includes individual therapy, leading groups, legislative advocacy, and public speaking.
