World Leading Therapist: Why You Feel Stuck in Life & How to Get Unstuck

In today’s episode, you’re going to learn the root cause of why you feel stuck.

Whether you feel trapped in self-doubt, overwhelmed by anxiety, or find yourself in a dynamic that keeps repeating, this conversation will show you how to break free.

Joining Mel today is Lori Gottlieb: world-renowned therapist, writer of the “Ask the Therapist” column for The New York Times, author of “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone,” which has sold 3 million copies, and host of the podcast Since You Asked.

Lori is here to help you change the most powerful force shaping your life: the story you’re telling yourself.

What she shares today will change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and your past.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-How to identify the story that’s keeping you stuck

-What emotional trauma has to do with your inner dialogue
-How anxiety is fueled by the way you talk to yourself

-The simple tools to calm anxiety and stop spiraling
-The biggest questions people bring to therapy and what they all have in common

-How to reclaim the author role in your life and stop being defined by your past

If you’ve ever felt like you missed your shot, like you’re too much or not enough, or that it’s too late to feel better, this conversation is for you.

You are not the story you’ve been telling yourself.

You are the author.

And today, with Lori’s help, you’ll learn how to write something new – starting now.
