Episode 19: Perspective: Contemplating the Complexities of Our Realities

This week, Jessica Fowler interviews Dr. Rachel Altvater about her book Perspective: Contemplating the Complexities of Our Realities.  The book is described as "This psychological, self-insight 'think book' aims to shed light on the complexities of human perspective."  Rachel shares how we all have similar experiences, but we have our own filter for our perceptions through our thoughts, feelings and experiences.  During this episode, Rachel shares some examples of how this plays out in our lives.  She explores how we actually only see a fraction of what people are like and often because we only choose to share certain parts of ourselves.  Rachel also shares about various theories of psychology and why this can be important to know, particularly if you are going to therapy.
