Sarah Kubrick is an existential psychotherapist who shares her perspective on authenticity, self-love, acceptance, and responsibility. In this interview, she talks about the challenges of her job and how people's concerns and questions have changed in recent years.
The speaker criticizes the idea of "finding yourself" and believes that it is often just an excuse for people who are not happy or do not want to work hard. He also mentions that although many millennials are changing their priorities, it is often not rooted in their true identity.
Many millennials struggle with setting boundaries due to their desire for instant gratification, leading to difficulties in work and personal relationships. However, setting boundaries can actually preserve and improve relationships in the long term.
The education on boundaries needs to come from talking to a professional therapist and not through articles or posts as people might misunderstand or become extreme. Having a clear understanding of boundaries is vital for healthy relationships.
The speaker shares personal reflections on what it means to be a woman during times of crisis and how thinking about her grandmother's experience during the blitz provided reassurance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Millennials' difficulties with social media and public humiliation are not valued as much. During this generation, it's been pretty cushy for people, and covid pandemic experience may transform kids to be good at reading people's eyes.
Sarah Kubrick devotes her life to helping people build a treehouse where they can find safety, learn to sword fight, and work together. She believes her role in life is to help people build a treehouse where they can feel safe.
