I hope you\u2019re ready to have your eyes opened to some INTENSE AND UNCONVENTIONAL relationship advice because THE ANGRY THERAPIST is in the house this week.JOHN KIM is my guest, and for the next hour, we\u2019re not just talking about relationships with other people.\xa0 We\u2019re going to peel back what makes you tick and talk about THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF.You can tell John\u2019s approach to therapy and relationships is different just on the titles of the best sellers he\u2019s published\u2026I USED TO BE A MISERABLE F*CK and SINGLE. ON PURPOSE.\xa0 And he\u2019s got a new title coming out called IT\u2019S NOT ME, IT\u2019S YOU, which may be his best work yet.Tell me those don\u2019t make you CURIOUS about what John\u2019s got to say.I love John\u2019s work because he makes people turn relationship analysis INWARD, where most people refuse to spend enough time.\xa0 It\u2019s so easy to point blame at others when relationships go bad, but often the worst enemy is THE PERSON WE SEE IN THE MIRROR every morning.Pay attention to what John has to say about his concept of SELF vs Self.\xa0 It\u2019s the key to how you can change your life to live INSIDE OUT instead of OUTSIDE IN.\xa0 You\u2019re also going to learn more about the internal dialogs you have with your SOLID SELF vs your PSEUDO SELF.LOVE is amazing, but love isn\u2019t perfect.\xa0 John is going to tell you how we\u2019re challenged because we're taught that love looks like CODEPENDENCY ... and we all know the pitfalls of codependency in all parts of our lives.As part of his contrarian thinking, John also doesn\u2019t believe in THE ONE.\xa0 Instead, he explains why THE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU is the most important relationship you can possibly have.That leads us to talk about different ATTACHMENT STYLES, finding beauty in each other\u2019s CONTRASTS, and loving your partner like IT\u2019S GOING TO END AT ANY TIME.And no discussion about relationships would be complete without John\u2019s takes of RED FLAGS vs. DEAL BREAKERS and how you should deal with DISHONESTY and COMPARISONS in a relationship.\xa0 You\u2019re also going to get an education on what to do if you\u2019re not feeling \u201cIT\u201d anymore. \xa0After you listen to John\u2019s wisdom, spend some time thinking more about what you can do to IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIPS in your life, especially the relationship you have with YOURSELF.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
