In this therapy session, Hannah and Dr. McBride explore Hannah's defenses against vulnerability and her deep-seated fear of abandonment. They discuss how Hannah's pattern of trying to please others and earn love has prevented her from experiencing authentic connection and self-acceptance. The session culminates in a powerful exercise where Hannah connects with the memory of her grandmother and realizes her enduring presence.Episode description
Hannah has found a range of ways to earn love and protect herself from getting hurt. In Dr. Hillary McBride’s words, she “has found a way to stay connected to people by figuring out who they want her to be, and then being that.” The two work to help Hannah trust that she can show up as her authentic self, and to believe that she is lovable as she is.
