#31 - Treat Yourself Like Someone You Are Responsible for Helping
Topic of this episode is na homage to one of the Jordan Peterson's rules and revolves around questions like: Why we often treat ourselves worse than we would anybody else? Why we tell ourselves things we would never tell someone else? If somebody spoke like that to our friends, we would immediately run to defend them. But it’s fine when it comes to self-talk, apparently. Why we rarely support ourselves as much as we would support anyone we care about? Why we might see ourselves as not worthy – whether it comes to support, tone of voice, forgiveness or anything else?
Sounds familiar?

#30 - That Never Happened: Why Parents Forget or Deny Your Memories
Why do so many of us clearly remember moments that hurt us as kids, only to be told by our parents that they “don’t remember” or that it “wasn’t that bad”?
In this episode, I try to unpack the psychology behind this almost universal experience: how children and parents encode the same event differently, why shame and self‑protection can drive genuine forgetting or denial, and what trauma research says about whose memory is more likely to be accurate as well as how intergenerational trauma can also play a role.
Enjoy!
