470. Recognize Your Blocks and Start Healing with Joel Makin

Have you ever wondered why change feels so hard, even when you know you need it?

Join me for a conversation with the person who’s been changing my life over the last year: my life coach Joel Makin:

• Why most people are in denial and don’t realize they need a therapist or a coach.
• How to see whether you personally need a therapist.
• How to become more open to change and growth.
• Why we need to cherish people in our lives who are direct with us.
• How to react to direct feedback from people who care about us.
• What stops people from getting on stage or speaking on camera.
• How therapy and coaching can help with public speaking fears.
• What psychodynamic therapy is and how it can help with public speaking.
• Why CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) doesn’t work long-term.
• How long therapy really takes and how to know when you’re healed.
• How Jesus’s birth gives us a chance for healing.

Joel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
