Who You Think You “Should” Be vs. Who You Are

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking all about the "shoulds." They discuss how the "shoulds" or certain, specific expectations of ourselves connect to control, anxiety, and depression, battling the "shoulds" when other people are in a phase of life you envy, why comparison is so innate, what to do when others have expectations for you or of you, what it actually means to "be ready" for something, the "shoulds" of parenting, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 8:15 to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content. Get Matched With One of Our Therapists at The Therapy Group!
