Sometimes we learn the most about others or ourselves from how we respond to events we didn’t see coming. What’s beneath the surface can seep or burst through our filters. We can leak. In many instances, we’re not even aware of our own pre-conditioning and shaping. Our patterns of thinking and reacting have developed over many years and are not easily changed. 

Though it can be really difficult and painful, becoming more self-aware is actually a good thing ultimately. In this episode, we look at how the hidden beliefs and values people become more apparent in their reactions and the emotional energy behind them.
