#99 - David Corbera: What your family came to teach you

Rocío Périz |

In this episode, we talk to David Corbera, a professional specializing in the psychology of self-knowledge, emotional management, and family dynamics. His work focuses on understanding how our personal history, our bonds, and our emotional wounds shape the way we live, love, make decisions, and relate to the world.

Throughout the episode, David guides us through deep topics such as forgiveness, reconciliation with the past, the patterns we repeat without realizing it, the figure of our parents, the impact of perfectionism, inherited guilt, and the roles we assume within our family. A direct, honest conversation that really strikes a chord.

If you want to understand yourself better, break patterns that do not belong to you, and connect with a freer version of yourself, this episode is for you.
