In this thought-provoking episode of "Philosophers in the Therapy Room," we delve into the concept of the "life script" and its profound impact on human behaviour and mental well-being. We explore how these societal expectations create a framework within which individuals are expected to operate, leading many to measure their self-worth and success against these arbitrary benchmarks. Throughout the episode, we engage with various philosophical perspectives to unpack the origins and implications of the life script. We also consider how therapy can provide a space for individuals to challenge these societal norms, redefine success on their terms, and embrace the unique trajectories of their lives.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of the life script, offering insights and strategies to help listeners cultivate a more authentic and fulfilling existence free from the constraints of societal expectations.
