Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Susie larsen

live i'm always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing

you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk the deep in your

understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real

presence in your life. Here's that question for you. Are you your own worst critic? I mean,

do you find yourself rehearsing all the ways that you've messed up, things you should do or things you

should not do? Well, my guest today is Dr. Chris Thurman, and I want to say, I've been practicing my

enunciation so I don't mess up this title. You ready? His book is titled, Stop, Shudding on yourself. You hear me? Shoulding on yourself. Making the journey from condemnation to compassion. I was talking to my daughter-in-law about this book just in passing, and she thought I swore. So I want, she said, make sure you enunciate when you go on the air.

But I want to know from you before we get the conversation started. They always love hearing from your friends. So is there an area in your life that you repeatedly are saying, I should do that, I should do that? Or I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't do that. Do you should on yourself? I want to know because we can become our own worst enemy.

And when we

shame ourselves, it actually really hurts us. And it impacts our relationships as well. We got

several copies of Dr. Chris Thurman's book to give away. You can text the word book to 877-933-2484.

This is a pretty raw question.

Just be honest with me.

How do you should on yourself? What do you say? I really should. Or I just shouldn't. How do you do that? You know, I do that. If I have an interview that I don't think is stellar, because we're used to a very high standard on the show. We've got really strong guests. But if there's one that just doesn't deliver, it takes me a while to recover from that.

I should have asked this.

I should have, you know, angled it this way. And it, yeah, I've got a waste to go on this as well. Well, let me tell you about my guest. We'll get him on the show. Dr. Chris Thurman is a psychologist, bestselling author, and popular speaker. He's the author of numerous books, including the bestseller, The Lives We Believe,

and has conducted hundreds of personal growth seminars for churches and corporations around the country. He and his wife, Holly, been married for 40 years. Wow, have three adult children and three grandchildren, and they live in Austin, Texas. Dr. Chris, welcome back to the show. Thank you, Susie. Great to be

with you. Yeah, looking forward to talking about this book. All right, Karen says it's her diet and

exercise. That's where she shoulds on herself a lot. We're going to dig into that even a little bit.
