How to Permanently Change Your Life with Therapy, with Dr. Jo Ann McKarus
Psychoanalyst Dr. Jo Ann McKarus, PsyD, joins Jillian this week to help us understand the power of therapy and how to get the most out of it. First, she outlines how to identify if you are a candidate for therapy and if so, how to find the right therapist for your needs. She explains what the “unconscious” is, how it’s created from past traumas, and how it begets negative patterns in our lives. She goes on to explain how defense mechanisms, projection, and internalizations impact our self worth and relationships. We discuss potential origins for eating disorders and binge eating, along with possible ways your therapist can help you heal and turn these issues around. And last, listener questions on the phrases and diagnoses popping up all over social media, like what is a narcissism, borderline personality disorder, sociopathy, and more.
