194 Distorted Self-Image: Internalizing How You Are Positively Reflected

Distorted Self-Image; Internalizing How You are Positively Reflected

How can you internalize the positive ways others see you in order to shift your distorted self-perception? How do you nurture secure attachments? What prevents you from having intimate relationships with others? Jen and I talk about what it was like for her to come to CA, and for us to meet in person for the first time in our 5-year friendship.  We explore our fears, & how this shifted our relationship. We also explore ways to savor connection.

GUEST

Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC
