The Stories That Shaped Us: The Beliefs Running Your Life That You've Never Questioned

Most of us carry beliefs about ourselves that we've never really stopped to question. That we're too much. That we're not enough. That we have to earn love, or that we don't really deserve to take up space. These beliefs feel like facts — like just the way we are. But they're not facts. They're stories. And they were formed a long time ago, by a much younger version of you, trying to make sense of experiences you didn't yet have the tools to understand.

In this episode, Jim Squire, Registered Psychotherapist, talks about where those stories come from, how they quietly shape the way we show up in our relationships and our lives as adults, and what it actually looks like to start understanding yourself differently. This isn't about blame. It isn't about reliving the past. It's about recognizing that the story you've been living by was never the whole truth — and that it doesn't have to stay the way it is.

If you've ever felt like you keep getting in your own way without really knowing why, this episode is for you.
