What About Therapy

In this episode, Enoch and Austin talk about three major aspects of the human experience that have the biggest influence on our lives. Those three categories include Biological, Psychological, and Socially. No matter the issues that you have or will encounter in this life, they will be influenced to one degree or another by all three of these categories. Our problems are never caused by only one of these categories or slices of pie. All three play a part in creating the entire pie or human experience. When this is understood, we start to see our issues and struggles on a deeper level, and we are better able to get to the root cause of the issues and problems we encounter on a day-to-day basis.

In this episode, Enoch and Austin talk about the age-old question, "can you fake it till you make it?" They go a step further to say "can you fake it till you become it?". They discuss how body language plays a big role in the way we think and feel about ourselves. They also discuss how something as simple as a power pose can have a drastic change on your life and its trajectory in becoming who you have always wanted to be. Join us for all this and so much more on this week's episode on What About Therapy. They are also on YouTube if you want to see their beautiful mustaches.
