Episode Description
We have been trained to stay distracted at all times and emotions have been vilified. A Harvard study showed that leaving people alone in a room with no distractions (yes, their phones were taken away as well) for 16 minutes and left to think! A number of people loathed it so much that they put their finger in a device that would shock them. They found it that painful to just sit with their own thoughts! My friends - this is the key to the problems we have with not feeling satisfied with our lives. In today's show, Karin Weiri, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist will talk about how to find inner peace and meaning in life so you don't have to go stick your finger in a light socket the minute you don't have your electronic devices on you!!

Karin works in her private practice in Orange City, Florida.

Since completing that training her practice and her life has undergone a complete transformation.
