October 23, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Psychotherapist Frank Rubino for this week's On The Couch. The text explores the nature of criticism, focusing on how individuals often react defensively due to a fear of abandonment, perceiving criticism as a rejection of their identity. Psychotherapist Frank Rubino suggests that in the age of social media, where oversharing can invite criticism, individuals should learn to either ignore negative feedback or consider valid points without becoming defensive.
