About this episode

Dr. Shaw discusses how self-labeling can limit personal growth and options in life.

In this brief but insightful episode, Dr. Shaw talks about the concept of how we label ourselves and how it impacts our life. A "label" could be that you say you have anxiety or that you're phobic about something or any number of things. When we label ourselves we can often limit our options and limit our growth in life. Dr. Shaw talks here using illustrative examples and she discusses how to move past the limits that our own self-labels might create for ourselves.
