Episode 3663:

Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the invisible walls we build around our hearts and minds, revealing how these boundaries shape our relationships, protect our sense of self, and sometimes isolate us. He offers powerful insights into how therapy helps us thoughtfully renovate these walls, neither tearing them down nor fortifying them blindly, but crafting doors that allow connection on our terms.

Quotes to ponder:

"Perhaps the biggest walls, the most important walls, are the ones that cannot be seen at all."

"Therapy is not meant to be a wrecking ball for the walls we have built. Therapy is a place where our walls are given the renovation they require."

"Not a revolving door, where anyone can come and go as they please, but a door of our choosing, that opens from the inside, a door that makes it possible for you to confidently invite people in to your lonely space, because it is good to have company we can trust."
