Hereditary Emotions
Mark and Megan discuss the hereditary nature of how we handle emotions, exploring how our parents' emotional tools (or lack thereof) can influence our own emotional experiences. They emphasize the importance of curiosity and open conversations with parents to understand their upbringing and how it shaped their emotional expression. Megan shares how therapy inadvertently turned her into a "mini therapist" and the uncomfortable discussions she's had with her family about the impact of her brother entering their lives.In this clip
