Psychology Life Lessons is a podcast where we listen in on conversations with psychology experts and try to extract life lessons, and maybe a little wisdom.
In this episode, Dr. Dan Lannin has a conversation with Dr. Yi Du and Dr. Raquel Botello — two counseling psychologists. The conversation starts off with a discussion about how we approach our pain, and then goes into how we often try to predict and control the future rather than appreciating the present and the past. There are also great life lessons about what it means to be “good enough,” how to “own our voice,” and why it can be important to cast off unnecessary guilt.
