If you've ever been in Emily's Q&A boxes in Instagram stories, you've probably seen her respond to some questions with "get curious." And the frequency with which she uses that response possibly annoys the crap out of you.
In today's episode, Emily is doing a deep dive on precisely what she means by "get curious," how she developed the skill in therapy and the effects in her own life, and how a disposition of curiosity can benefit all your relationships, most especially the one with yourself.
She also addresses why this level of introspection is not mere self-indulgence, but that going into our own emotional world is a means by which we are better able to love.
