Freedomain Posted August 29 Posted August 29 In this episode, I respond to a thought-provoking inquiry from a mental health professional regarding the paradox of being skilled at helping others while struggling with one's own life. I explore how childhood conditioning, particularly through parental relationships, leads individuals to prioritize others' needs over their own. This discussion delves into the dynamics of learned behaviors, the sacrifice of personal identity for parental stability, and the emergence of win-lose relationships rooted in dysfunction. I emphasize the importance of mutual support and provide practical examples to illustrate healthy relational dynamics. Ultimately, I advocate for self-reflection and the unlearning of harmful patterns to foster better relationships with oneself and others.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, the interactive multi-lingual philosophy AI trained on thousands of hours of my material, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022Listen to the Podcast
