[Content Warning]: Child sexual abuse, mild language

Today, Jan is joined by Dr. Ute Liersch, a Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist. They begin by exploring how being labeled "stupid" in a rigid school system shaped Dr. Ute's early life and self-concept. They discuss the critical difference between experiencing victimhood and choosing victimization. Dr. Ute shares her philosophy of honoring the past, respecting the present, and being excited for the future. The conversation delves into reframing difficult emotions as vital data, understanding anger as a signal of injustice, and the necessity of compassion, curiosity, and courage to heal from trauma, toxic relationships, and life's inevitable hardships.
