Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent.

I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and

insights from parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

Getting to know yourself could be a lifelong process, especially because we're always growing

and changing. Therapy is a way of deepening your self-awareness and your understanding because

sometimes we don't know what we want or why we react the way that we do until we talk through

things. And I know I've found that in my own life. BetterHelp connects you with a

licensed therapist who can take you on that journey of self-discovery wherever you are. You find out

where that wound in your childhood came from. You find out why this specific thing is such a big

trigger in your relationship. You find out why you're repeating the same patterns over and

over again. I found things like this out in regular therapy, virtual therapy, couples therapy.

I've gotten so much out of therapy in my own life. It's helped me deal with things with my parents,

things with my kids, things with my spouse, things with myself, things with my work.

I just can't recommend it enough.

It's something that ensues, as the great Victor Frankel says in man's search for meaning.
