In this episode of Over This Should, I have an insightful conversation with Sabrina Trobak, a therapist and author, about the profound impact of challenging core beliefs that stem from feelings of inadequacy. We explore how emotional suppression can lead to anxiety, and how allowing space for emotional expression, especially in parenting, can foster mental health and healing. Sabrina emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, addressing not just the mind, but also the body and spirit. Throughout the episode, Sabrina offers practical tools for increasing self-awareness, processing emotions, and how journaling can be a gateway to deeper personal growth.
Key Takeaways:
