In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero tackle these age-old questions, shedding light on how our innate tendencies shape our interactions with others. They break down the subtle differences between being selfish—where everything is done for your own benefit—and self-centeredness, which involves viewing the world through your personal lens, often influenced by past traumas. Dr.
Vitz highlights that everyone experiences selfishness at some point, whether due to upbringing or survival instincts. This isn't about beating yourself up, but rather recognising these behaviours as part of human nature. With anecdotes and practical examples, they explore how self-centeredness can often lead to misinterpretations in relationships, especially within families. The hosts encourage you to take small steps—'five degrees' at a time—towards recognising and adjusting these behaviours.
The conversation takes a deep dive into how unchecked selfishness can impact familial and romantic relationships. Dr. Vitz suggests that identifying where you might be prioritising yourself over others is the first step to change. She shares stories of transformation from her coaching sessions, illustrating how recognising these patterns can lead to profound personal growth. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in emotional sobriety and improving their relationships.
It’s a reminder that small changes can lead to big transformations. So, why not start today by asking yourself: Where am I being selfish, and what can I do to change it?
