113: Wanting Something and Not Having It Yet

The topic of allowing yourself to want what you want has come up on the podcast before, But Dr. Marie Murphy is taking this understanding of your desires even deeper on today’s episode. As a human, it’s natural to freak out when you notice desire coming up, especially if that desire can’t be fulfilled right away. It can feel like you’re setting yourself up for uncertainty, impatience, and frustration.

By allowing yourself to want something or someone, contending with the experience of not getting what you want is inevitable. So, how do you deal with the ache of deeply wanting something and not having it yet? And why could this be the key to getting the result you truly want in your infidelity situation?

Dr. Marie Murphy is showing you how to tolerate the discomfort of your unmet desire, and why being in a state of desire without desperation will allow you tenaciously take action in the service of what you really want in life.
