Episode 2: My House: The Junk Drawer
Description:
Dr. Branch discusses the concept of a "junk drawer" - a place where we store things that don't work or serve us anymore, but we keep them because we think we might need them someday. He compares this to the beliefs and behaviors we hold onto in our lives, even when they no longer serve us. He suggests challenging our beliefs and getting rid of the "junk" in our lives, just like we would clean out a physical junk drawer. Dr. Branch also shares his own experience overcoming his resistance to therapy and how it helped him unpack his past and become a better version of himself. He encourages the listeners to consider trying therapy. The overall message is about being willing to challenge our beliefs, let go of things that no longer serve us, and do the inner work to become our best selves.
