What does it mean to truly understand yourself and others? In this enriching episode of Transacting Value, we reconnect with licensed psychologist Andi Liti. His journey from Albania to the United States, his service in the Marine Corps, and his professional development in psychology provide a profound backdrop for our discussions on self-awareness and relationships. Andi shares his insights on the critical role of self-awareness in understanding emotions, actions, and fostering deeper relationships, offering valuable perspectives from his recent focus on couples therapy.

Transitioning from military to civilian life comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to communication. We dissect the impact of military jargon and the barriers it creates in everyday interactions. Andi offers guidance on effective communication strategies, drawing from his experiences as a linguist and couple's therapist. Our conversation also touches on the nuances of anxiety and how it manifests in speech patterns, shedding light on the varied interpretations of behaviors. Through these reflections, we emphasize the journey of self-understanding to improve interpersonal relationships.

The balance between self-awareness and overanalyzing is a delicate one. Reflecting on Descartes' famous quote, "I think, therefore I am," we explore the philosophical implications of self-awareness on personal growth and contentment. Andi and I discuss person-centered therapy techniques, the importance of humility in continuous learning, and the role of personal values and self-worth in achieving mental well-being. Join us for a thoughtful discussion on living in alignment with one's values and the empowerment that comes from genuine self-understanding and contentment.
