This listener left a written review: \u201cI do love listening to this podcast because it helps me feel more \u201cnormal\u201d in my depression, anxiety, trauma. I\u2019m 41 years old and I recognize that something is not right with me , but I bottle it up and shove it away! Thanks for sharing your experiences and help!\u201d So today, we\u2019re going to focus on learning how to soothe yourself - and not to bottle it up and shove it away.

The listener email asks for some perspective or support about boundaries or walls in relationships \u2013 and that\u2019s when an apology \u2013 even a sincere one \u2013 isn\u2019t accepted. It can be heart-breaking but I\u2019ll offer some ideas of what she can choose to try.

So,in this first fresh episode of SelfWork in 2022, sponsored by AG1 or Athletic Greens (which was basically my first act of self-care on the very first day of 2022), we\u2019re talking about self-soothing.
