Gabrielle Bernstein: The Judgment Detox (With Lewis Howes)

Origins

Gabrielle Bernstein explores the origins of judgment, likening it to an addiction that stems from moments of separation in our lives. These moments, often occurring in childhood, create belief systems that lead us to judge ourselves and others, perpetuating a cycle of negativity. She explains, "Judgment is just one of the ways that we run from our deep wounds" 1. Recognizing and understanding these patterns is the first step towards breaking free from them, as Gabrielle emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in overcoming judgment 2.
