Navigating Relationships and Perspectives
Manage episode 415386251 series 3551627
In Season 1, Episode 11, Navigating Relationships and Perspectives, of "Growing Older Together," we talk about how old fears can shape how we act and connect with people now. We hear from Stephanie, who shares how early experiences of rejection affected her ability to make friends and trust others. Through therapy and self-reflection, Stephanie started to break down the walls she had built around herself. Her story encourages us to look at our own lives and think about how our fears influence our relationships.
We also discuss ways to handle these fears and learn from Joe, another listener, who found that sharing his feelings and being open was crucial to improving his relationships. We discuss the importance of listening, understanding others, and working together to create healthier bonds.
Think about your experiences: Have old fears shaped your interactions with others? Share your stories with us through social media or email, listed in the show notes. Together, let’s discover how to turn our past difficulties into chances for growth and better connections.
