How Can I Stop Seeking My Family’s Approval of My Life Decisions?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode, Dr. Julie Hanks coaches Melissa and addresses the question "How can I stop seeking my family’s approval of my life decisions?" Melissa is ready to move forward with her life after a divorce, but she feels held back by the need to prove to her parents that she made the right choice.

During this episode, Dr. Hanks guides Melissa through these feelings. They discuss that while it would be amazing to have, as an adult she no longer requires her parents’ approval. Melissa knows in her heart that she made the best decision, and that is all that matters.
