Have you ever wondered why you keep getting stuck in the same patterns, despite all the personal growth and self-awareness work you've done?In this episode of Beyond the Therapy Room, Skye and Ali explore the hidden identities that shape how we show up in our relationships, careers, therapy practices, and businesses.
