124. Drew #95: Digging Up That Old Polaroid

124. Drew #95: Digging Up That Old Polaroid

Doug and Kenzie talk about connecting to your inner child. Then in the session, Drew is adulting and creating distance from his parents while preparing to be a father himself. Doug digs deeper with Drew in the session to get to the emotions underneath all the progress we see and hear on the outside. Doug explains an analogy of photographs to show how we often perceive (and misperceive) people. There are polaroid snapshots from one instance in time and there are "Harry Potter" pictures that constantly move and change - but neither is a true moving picture of our actual life now. The images someone has in mind of us don't necessarily line up with how we really are now. We want people to see us and know us for who we are, but we are constantly changing. This gets murky when we put up walls and present false pictures to people, especially family members.
