“I think when we get in that victim space, like it makes so much sense and certainly some people have had such horrific experiences, I can see why they would feel that way. But the truth is, that only holds you in that place.” Jason VanRuler
Today I’m speaking with Jason VanRuler. He is a licensed therapist, Coach, Speaker and Author of "Get Past Your Past, How Facing Your Broken Places Leads to True Connection". I had so much fun talking with Jason, he’s actually really funny, but we also covered a lot of ground in terms of finding practical solutions to the challenges a lot of us face in recovery.
We’re going to talk about why we replicate our family of origin, how to forgive your parents, and how to build confidence. We also talk about relationship dynamics and how to move from dysfunctional roles like being the rescuer, the victim, or the bully to being the coach, the survivor and the encourager. The framework is actually very practical and can shift your perspective very quickly.
There were so many gems in this conversation, I know you’ll walk away with something you can apply to your life today.
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Jason and please feel free to reach out to me on social media, and let me know what you think!
