Our Tolerance For Making Mistakes After Having An Intolerant, Unpredictable Early Life Caregiver

In this Short Talk on Talks with Dr Shafer, Dr. Shafer discusses how our attitudes towards growth and our tolerance for making mistakes can be affected after growing up with intolerant or unpredictable caregivers. Dr Shafer explores how being trained to believe that criticism is love can affect our ability to accept kindness and praise. Dr. Shafer emphasizes the importance of understanding the patterns we learned from our caregivers and how they shape our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, and to see the opportunity for creating a new mindset, setting the stage for healthier relationships and a happier life. She encourages listeners to embrace neuroplasticity and the potential for growth, even if it requires pruning old connections and reworking thoughts, habits, and relationships.
