Ever wondered why your therapist keeps circling back to your childhood, even when you're focused on what's happening right now? In this episode of Therapy Backstage, we explore the connection between early life experiences and adult mental health.
Joh Knyn unpacks:
- How your childhood shapes the way you see yourself and others
- The role of early attachment experiences in adult relationships
- A gentle breakdown of the four main attachment styles
- Why looking back doesn’t mean you’re avoiding current issues, but a way of reflecting on where your pattens may have come from (an important step in healing)
Whether you're new to therapy or years into the process, this episode helps make sense of why the past is such a vital part of the therapeutic present.
Plus: Tips on some boundary setting phrases you could use with your therapist if talking about your childhood feels too big or too much right now.
