244: Can We Be Alone With Our Thoughts

Episode Description from the Publisher

A recent article Eric read stating people would rather hurt themselves than sit alone with their thoughts for more than a few minutes, is the inspiration behind this episode. Not even Nayla knew what the topic would be going in, but it's a perfect example of what The Inside Job podcast is all about … pushing past the uncomfortable to face what's going on underneath. Take a listen to today's episode and really be honest with yourself over whether you would choose an electric shock over your own thoughts. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla). Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
