Vulnerability Not Allowed | #093
<p>Louie’s new therapist introduced him to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — and it’s already getting personal.</p><p>In what early listeners have called our "most beautiful episode yet"... Louie brings EFT-style <em>attachment questions</em> to the pod, exploring what he and Michael learned from their families about vulnerability, emotional safety, and connection. They reflect on how their mothers shaped their ability (or inability) to express feelings, the emotional roles they were expected to play, and what it means to unlearn emotional avoidance as adults.</p><p>If you’ve ever asked yourself <em>“Why is vulnerability so hard for me?”</em> — this one’s for you.</p><p>topics: emotionally focused therapy, EFT, therapy podcast, attachment styles, emotional vulnerability, childhood trauma, family dynamics, inner child healing, men’s mental health, emotional avoidance, healing relationships, therapy questions, how to be vulnerable, funny therapy podcast</p><br><p>BetterHelp:</p><p>If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor.
