56. Sarah #5: Just One Junk Drawer

Mer acknowledges Doug for his emotional and personal music album coming out in a few weeks; and then she gives him guff for not getting the podcast’s Patreon launched yet!  It’s coming soon with ongoing Drew episodes and other exclusives for subscribers. In this session with Sarah, Doug helps her look at the inner critic that fuels perfectionism. This is often a trauma response from her growing up in an abusive cult with neglectful parenting. Doug and Sarah acknowledge “Little Sarah,” the wounded child inside of her that didn’t get nurtured and protected by a loving parent. Doug and Mer highlight how reparative it can be for Sarah to be a compassionate parental presence for her own children, especially if she can apply some of that parenting to “Little Sarah.”     Mentioned in this episode: Doug Jaymes Friedman music on Spotify Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings Doug Friedman Meredith Levy YMB Webpage Join Us on Social Media:  YMB The Facebook Group YMB on Instagram YMB on TikTok
