Therapy with Bria

In this episode, I talk all about the collective experiences that people seem to be going through on an emotional level such as experiencing high levels of anger, all-or-nothing thinking patterns, and the experience of people lashing out toward others or projecting their own emotions onto others. I recognized that we are in some sort of "communication and understanding deficit" and will explain in this episode about what I mean by that and the steps that you can begin to take to gain a more meaningful understanding of both yourself and others.

In today's episode, I chat about:

• Self-reflection
• Dichotomous thinking
• Core beliefs
• Relationships

My Current Reading List:

• What Alice Forgot (Fiction)
• Spirit Babies (Non-Fiction)
• The Biology of Belief (Non-Fiction)

Today's chat is with my mom! Last time we spoke on the podcast, we recorded the episode: My Mom on Moving Through Overwhelm, Panic, & Life Transitions. What's interesting is that we were both, on our own individual journeys, going through some tumultuous life transitions at that time. Fast forward to where we are now respectively feeling more settled; still in a place of growth and learning of course with ups and downs and good days and learning days. What's different is that we have both really doubled down on our spiritual and personal development work, we have set more boundaries in our lives, and try each and everyday to live lives that are more aligned with our core essence.

• Spirituality
• Personal Development
• Authenticity
