#122 - Lori Gottlieb: Understanding pain, therapeutic breakthroughs, and keys to enduring emotional health - Peter Attia

“Therapy is like getting a really good second opinion on your life from people who are not in your life.” – Lori Gottlieb

Sometimes our story is so ossified there’s no other interpretation for the events and we need a different perspective

If someone has physical discomfort, they get it checked out – when we have emotional discomfort, we minimize it

The most important step is not making the change but the maintenance

“When the story of my life is going to be told, the people who will literally have saved my life are going to be the people who helped me with my mental health.” – Peter Attia

A lot of us would rather blame other people for why we can’t have joy or happiness in our lives than take personal responsibility

Therapy helps you access the place of knowing you have deep down but sometimes need guidance to unlock

Our culture separates physical and emotional health as though they’re unrelated
