Summary

Most of us spend our lives wanting to be loved, but Dr. Curt Thompson believes something has to come first: being known. In this episode, we explore why our stories matter, how our own wounds shape the way we parent, and why children need more than our effort they need our presence. Dr. Thompson shares powerful insights on attachment, emotions, suffering, friendship, and the healing that happens when someone truly sees us and stays. This episode is a reminder that growth is often difficult, relationships are essential, and hope is formed not in isolation but in connection. Learn more at curtthompsonmd.com .
