This episode is PACKED with wisdom from my brother and fellow doctoral cohort member, Josh Ruszala. In this episode, Josh and I discuss how insecurities present themselves in social dynamics and how our thinking and feeling selves play a role. We both provide different anecdotes of our experiences with our insecurities and discuss how we navigate working through these social challenges. Carl Jung, Embodiment, Thinking, Feeling, and Hidden Trauma are just a few of the themes you'll find in this exchange. What a treat it was to host Josh and I hope you all get as much out of this as I did. Please subscribe, follow, share, and leave a review! Enjoy and see you next time!

9 Signs of Insecurities:
- Poor decision-making skills and limited ability to choose quickly
- Being overly critical of self and others
- Low self-esteem, marked by self-deprecation and perceptions of low self-worth
- An overly high sense of self that is used to conceal true feelings
- Perfectionism to the point of never being satisfied
- Strong desire to be alone and avoid social situations
- Struggles to believe others and build strong relationships based on mutual trust and understanding
- Poor communication patterns that focus on the other person’s needs and wants more than their own
- High levels of anxiety and stress
Titration: Utilizing just a little bit at a time, i.e. “I use titration in bringing up my trauma to be healed so I don’t flood my nervous system.”
