You Think You Have It Figured Out, But Still Have The Same Problems by Freedom from Attachment published on 2017-05-26T07:13:00Z Are you a rock star when it comes to working on yourself?

You’re able to handle things better—that is until you’re emotionally triggered by something, taking you back to square one. You realize you’re not in control of your emotions or your reactions to situations, and you’re frustrated. The mental tools you’ve applied aren’t working. Many people contact me after they’ve done a bunch of work on themselves because they still aren’t seeing much progress. They feel lost and misguided (and sometimes even pissed off!).

If you’ve done a lot of work on yourself and are still stuck, this podcast is for you! Genre Self-Help
