Episode Description for “Finding Your Ruby Slippers“
Lisa Ferentz, author of “Finding Your Ruby Slippers: Transformative Life Lessons From the Therapist’s Couch”, emphasizes that, while most people expend tremendous amounts of energy wondering and worrying about what others think or say about them, the most powerful messages are the ones that come from yourself about yourself. Lisa Ferentz is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist who will share her key prompts for continued growth — whether facing the challenges of an eating disorder, depression or general self-improvement.
Dr. Risk’s Thoughts
Our world is fraught with anxiety and image issues. We are overloaded with information, and most of that is doctored and photoshopped. We all grew up comparing ourselves to others, and feel our own inadequacies. This was an interesting conversation to have, as it allowed me to realize we all have similar issues and thoughts. It’s important to learn to recognize our own shortcomings or thoughts so that we can work on them and feel better empowered.
