In this episode, Deborah Adele describes the razor's edge between Self-Expression and Self-Indulgence, using the yoga principle of Satya (Truthfulness). She makes the distinctions for us. Then using modern science, drawing from Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and behavioral techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I show how to use many of the interventions and ideas to actually put self-expression into practice.

Additionally, discover why "dumping" your emotions is not the same as telling the truth, and learn practical skills like the DBT's DEAR MAN framework and the Gottmans' Soft Start-Up formula to communicate effectively without causing harm. Learn how to pause, regulate your nervous system, and speak from your core "Self" energy rather than a reactive "Part."
