Caller Questions & Discussion:

1. Dr. Jacqui discusses the importance of developing a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. She shares how she used to say, “I don’t play sports because I’m not good at it,” but now approaches challenges with a growth mindset: “Let’s see what went wrong so I can learn from it and try something different.”
2. Why have I replaced drugs and alcohol with emotional eating? Since getting sober, I’ve gained 70 pounds from turning to food for comfort.
3. I discovered my husband was unfaithful. We’ve been in marriage counseling and tried an in-home separation, but not living apart. How do I begin living separately?
4. In the past five years, I’ve experienced significant losses. Am I convincing myself that something is wrong physically? I’ve noticed memory issues and forgetfulness that concern me.
