You learn so much in childhood.  How to walk, how to talk, how to do multiplication and division.

Unfortuantely, for some though, you also learn to be fearful, to not trust.  We learn not to get too happy because any minute, the other shoe will fall.

Today's guest, Reneau Peurifoy, author of 4 different books on anxiety, anger, and emotions, shares his knowledge from over 20 years as an MFT working with anxiety and other related disorders, shares why although not healthy, dysfunction can feel really comfortable to you.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • Why you unconsciously seek unhealthy partners
  • How jealous people have a lot of should/must rules that keeps reality foggy
  • 4 questions to ask yourself to start to tame your jealous
  • What the treatment of EMDR is all about and how it works to begin desensitizing childhood trauma
  • Tips for how to move to a place of feeling comfortable without all the drama
