Allyson Dinneen joins me to discuss embracing vulnerability, and boundaries and making space for even our most uncomfortable emotions. Allyson shares how to transform childhood patterns of fixing people’s problems and making people happy to instead accompany people with compassion on their emotional journey.

Allyson Dinneen is a marriage and family therapist and mental health counselor who started the Notes From Your Therapist Instagram project, which currently has almost 400K followers. Allyson’s notes and insights on emotions, relationships, and life have been featured in Huffington Post, Shape, Cosmopolitan, and more. She lives in the Berkshires, Massachusetts and works in private practice.
