I have a question about the episode THE #1 WAY To Change Your Life FOR THE BETTER|Dr. Margaret Rutherford & Lewis Howes and this Questioning Our Choices. I often feel that the reason I overthink and have deep thoughts is because my father tortured and abandoned my mother and me during my childhood. How does this relate to developing awareness of oneself and questioning personal beliefs?
Can you provide some insights on how to address the feelings stemming from my childhood experiences with my father, who tortured and abandoned my mother and me? I often feel that these experiences are the reason I overthink and have deep thoughts. This question relates to the episode #436: The Medicalization of Birth and the Rise of Midwifery with Lindsey Meehleis and the clip Healing Through Birth. It also relates to the episode How Pain Becomes Medicine with IN-Q #251 and the clip Letting Go, Self-Awareness.
