In this episode, Dr. K challenges the popular self-help idea that healing simply requires "letting go" and accepting a missed childhood. Drawing on Erik Erikson's developmental psychology, he explains why human development functions like a progress bar, how unresolved childhood stages leave adults feeling stuck and unfulfilled, and how to achieve genuine "corrective emotional experiences" to reclaim your life.
