You weren’t born criticizing yourself.

You learned it.

Dr. Marc Brackett is the Founder and Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and one of the world’s leading experts on how emotions shape your decisions, relationships, and behavior.

You weren’t born believing you weren’t good enough, doubting yourself, or picking apart everything you do.

You learned it.

From messages you absorbed about who you should be, how you should look, and what you should achieve. From comments. From criticism. From being compared to other people.

Over time, those outer voices become your inner voice. And eventually, you start treating those thoughts as the truth. But they’re not.

You don’t have to believe every negative thought you have about yourself.

On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Marc Brackett, you’ll learn how to regulate your emotions, stop suppressing what you feel, and build the emotional intelligence that changes your relationships, decisions, and entire life.
