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.”

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
