This week, Alex breaks down why we take criticism so personally, and how to stop letting other people’s opinions dictate how we feel about ourselves. She explores how to tell the difference between constructive feedback and someone else’s projected insecurities, and why people-pleasing can slowly ruin your sense of identity. Finally, Alex dives into how to handle family drama at the holidays, what to do if your friend is a pathological liar, and when it’s the right time to break up with your therapist. Enjoy!
