Don't Take It Personally

About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Jon discusses the importance of not taking things personally and finding emotional intimacy amidst life's challenges.

Ya know, each of us has so much going on all at once that life can be overwhelming. Making sense out of it all can be really hard. Other people's words can be hurtful and explosive, especially if you don't know where they are coming from. Ya know what else, when you are stuck like this, don't take it personally. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I offer this as a rule for life. Finding out what else is going on opens the door to greater emotional intimacy. Buy your copy from amazonbooks.com at https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Journey.../dp/B0CY9PQXMZ. Blessings, Dr. Jon
