Dr. Sasha Shokrian, Doctor of Psychology & Relationship Coach, gives listeners an introduction to who she is, and how she got into the field of Psychology. She discusses her mission in creating a podcast that would be less about showcasing the highlights of ones live, and more about sharing the difficulties and struggles people face along the way. She plans to normalize the human experience, by asking  the challenging questions we are all curious about and opening up conversations to topics that are often missed and ignored. She believes that through vulnerability and authenticity, we all have the capacity to connect with each other in a deeper and more meaningful way. In todays episode, she explains what it means to have a integrated sense of self and why we often become so addicted and protective of our false personas. She discusses how to more authentically get to know the self that is often hiding, and how to become more adaptable to change.
