Ep 448 Moving Beyond a Victim Mentality w/ Celeste The Therapist

In this enlightening episode of Celeste, the therapist podcast, host Celeste, a therapist from Boston, welcomes Jermaine Morris, a coaching consultant from Sacramento, California. Jermaine specializes in the DISC assessment, a tool that helps individuals understand their decision-making and communication traits, both in normal circumstances and under pressure.

 The discussion delves into the importance of emotional intelligence, particularly in children, and the lack of emphasis on personal development in education beyond the early years. They explore the consequences of not fostering self-awareness and the societal neglect in teaching young people how to identify, process, and manage their emotions. Both Celeste and Jermaine reflect on the potential impact this has on individuals as they grow up and stress the value of understanding oneself for personal and professional growth.
