We have a conversation with Dr. Abbie Maroño, an expert in behavioral analysis and author of "Work in Progress" about human psychology. We address the concepts of shame and guilt, where shame is presented as an indicator for personal growth. Dr. Maroño shares her journey, from her childhood in the United Kingdom to overcoming addictions, highlighting how psychology provided her with answers. We discuss the distortion of empowerment in today's culture and the importance of being responsible in times of suffering. She offers tools such as journaling to navigate our emotions, and underscores that working on oneself is a lifelong commitment to emotional resilience.
