Episode 5: Why do I keep doing the same things, even when I don't want to? - Dr. Brenda Gesell, LMFT Everything's Fine
-
- Mental Health
In this episode, Bryan interviews Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Dr. Brenda Gesell, about the idea of reenactment—that tendency we all experience at some point in our lives to act out or rehearse old ways or patterns of relating to ourselves or others despite how detrimental they may be to us now. Dr. Gesell reviews the notions of enactment and reenactment, and provides a powerful and psychologically deep explanation for why we can find ourselves doing the very things—or behaving in particular ways—that are in deep conflict with our ultimate desires or hopes for ourselves and the way we wish to live.
Dr. Gesell is owner and founder of Gesell Psychotherapy, a group psychotherapy practice based out of Orange County, CA, and is also the Director of Graduate Clinical Psychology at Vanguard University in Southern California. Dr. Gesell graduated from Pacifica Graduate Institute with her Ph. D. in Depth Psychology. To learn more about her work, visit here: https://www.gesellpsychotherapy.com/
