Synopsis

This week, we are exploring the intricate workings of the "ego" and its subtle influence on our thoughts. It's a silent captor, often guiding us through repetitive thoughts on topics like fairness, past relationships, or self-doubt.Traditionally, it's been proposed that eliminating the ego is the path to freedom, but today I want to offer an alternative perspective that has us looking at the ego as a lost inner child seeking safety and love --- and it is our responsibility to offer guidance, compassion, and healthy boundaries.If you are curious to delve deeper into helping your ego heal and evolve so that you can enjoy genuine serenity, don't miss this thought-provoking exploration of the ego's role in our lives.Dr. Friedemann's Takeaways:The Ego And Its Impact On Mental Well-Being (03:22)Childhood Experiences And Their Impact On Self-Worth (09:19)Managing The Ego And Cultivating Self-Awareness (13:18)Ego, Anxiety, And Personal Growth (20:34)Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear
