Pod #97: Dealing With Misperceptions That Can Hinder The Healing Process w/ Dr. Shoshana Garfield, PhD

Summary: One of the biggest struggles we have in doing any sort of transformational work is the fact that it is possible for us to NOT see the issue at hand clearly. We are shaped by our experience, our training, our biases, the stories we tell about ourselves, and what we hope is to be true. Because of this, even with the intention to do healing work, we can end up going down a path that is not fruitful. The problem with misperceiving our issues, ourselve, and our world is it is nearly impossible know that this is the case and that we need to change course in our approach. In this interview I talk with Dr. Shoshana Garfield about how to deal with misperceptions of ourselves and the world. Based on her personal life experiences and over 20 years of working with sever trauma Shoshana talks about ways we can see ourselves and our world more clearly helping us to move forward.
