Summary

Joe and Brett share perspectives and tools to see and feel through the limits of our identity on the intellectual, emotional, and physical levels. Explore how bringing awareness and transparency to our unconscious structures of identity can reduce rigidity and cultivate a healthier, more adaptive sense of self. "Having a fight with your identity is only more identity — it makes it stick harder. The object isn’t to get away from identity, kick it, or beat it into submission: it’s to love it and see what it is."
