#341 How to Break Free From Repeating Patterns with Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown
In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown, NYU professor, psychotherapist, and author of “Psyche’s Awakening: A Guide to Emotional and Somatic Healing Through the Wisdom of Greek Myth.” We dive into why we keep repeating the same relationship patterns (romantic and otherwise), how our psychological “Achilles heel” holds us back, and the power of using ancient Greek myths like Medusa and Sisyphus as mirrors for emotional healing. Dr. Gillian shares actionable exercises for identifying your core wounds, discusses the importance of understanding your own story’s prologue to change its ending, and explains how somatic awareness can help break painful relationship cycles. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re attracted to unavailable partners, how to identify your emotional triggers, or want concrete tools to heal heartbreak, this episode is packed with deep insights and practical tips.
