The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons

Rituals to Unf*ck Yourself with Tara Schuster


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you were living someone else's life, trapped in a narrative that didn't quite fit? Or perhaps you've experienced the transformative power of taking ownership of your story, rewriting the chapters that no longer serve you, and embracing the authentic self that's been waiting to emerge? 

In this episode, Dr. Scott is joined by Tara Schuster, a best-selling author, playwright, and accomplished entertainment executive whose journey of self-discovery and healing is as inspiring as it is relatable. Tara's story is one of resilience, of confronting childhood neglect and abuse, and of taking responsibility for her own life through the powerful acts of reparenting and self-care. In this conversation, they’ll delve into the importance of accepting and allowing suffering, and the transformative power of taking accountability for one's own narrative.

But this isn't just a story of pain; it's a story of understanding, forgiveness, and of seeing the underlying pain behind abusive behavior. Tara will share her insights on the process of understanding and forgiving her parents, and the profound impact it had on her own healing journey.

Together, Dr Scott and Tara also explore the practical aspects of self-care, the importance of structure and routine in making life easier, and the need to find one's own point of view, unshackled by limiting beliefs. Tara will encourage us to question our beliefs, to prioritize our values, and to live in alignment with the authentic selves we've uncovered.

Listen in as they embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and the reclamation of our stories. 

Topics We Break Down:

  • Getting to the root of your trauma and accepting the things that happened in your suffering.
  • How acceptance, accountability, and responsibility are not the same as assigning blame. 
  • What we can learn from identifying and understanding personal values. 
  • Making time for self-care 
  • How there is no hack to healing, only discipline and hard work. 
  • Trusting the process, introspection, and allowing yourself to make mistakes.
  • Living in alignment.
