About this episode
In this episode, Jackie Pack explores the idea that all behavior makes sense when understood within its context, sharing personal stories that illustrate this concept.
"All behavior makes sense. And if it doesn't make sense yet — we keep asking questions until it does." This is one of the phrases I say most in my work, and in this episode I'm unpacking where it actually came from. Not grad school. Life. I'm sharing two stories that changed how I see people — one from a cassette tape in my car, and one from a borrowed office and a father who asked me point-blank what he smelled like. Both of them taught me the same thing: behavior doesn't live in a vacuum. It lives inside a context. And once you understand the context, almost everything makes sense. This one is for therapists, parents, and anyone who has ever written someone off before they understood them — including themselves. New episode is live.
