Why do we become stuck in the past? That’s a great question being answered by Jordan Peterson. He explains the how’s and why’s of us becoming emotionally stuck in our past life experiences.
Dr. Peterson explains why we have to grow up emotionally. We screw up over and over and many times we use the past as a warning system. When we have lots of anxiety it is because we haven’t been able to let go of the past.
Yet when you press through the anxiety and you get used to the alarm bells that are your anxiety you start to see that you can do more. You aren’t going to die just because someone laughs at you. You aren’t going to be kicked out of the town because of something you said. you grow and get better with each passing test.
