Podcast Episode #65
In this episode, Brenda reviews the links researchers found between self-disgust and avoiding self-gazing, in studies with both veterans and older adults. While the research is nascent in the ability to make significant conclusions, it does seem to have implications for clinical practice, especially in light of all the other factors associated with gaze and eye-contact.
Brenda explores the potential considerations for therapy sessions in this novel perspective on the ways body behaviors can be linked to internal experiences.
