Q: What are those steps that people can follow as an easy reminder if I wanted to set myself up for success or if I wanted to try to approach this differently?
The guest suggests practical steps like recognizing uncomfortable emotions, offering oneself reassuring words, and embedding those phrases to create a bodily felt sense of safety; she also describes a broader approach of mindful engagement with triggers and a blend of in-the-moment strategies and reflecting on past memories to reconsolidate beliefs about worth.
257. why you can be loved and still feel unlovable (feat. dr. marisa franco)
Q: What practical steps help someone move toward feeling more worthy without forcing themselves into false positivity?
Begin with validating the emotion, acknowledge what's real, and practice small, achievable changes that affirm your worth—like recognizing small acts of kindness you've done or experiences where you felt seen—then gradually build up to more challenging memories with memory reconsolidation techniques.
