  • Why You Lash Out — The Psychology Behind Big Reactions (with Dr. Nicole LePera)

    Why You Lash Out — The Psychology Behind Big Reactions (with Dr. Nicole LePera)
    Mar 18 2026
    Ever wondered why we lash out, shut down, or spiral emotionally, even when we don't want to? On this episode of Getting Better, JVN teams up with psychologist and author Dr. Nicole LePera (The Holistic Psychologist) to dive deep into inner child healing, parts work, and the shocking truth behind our nervous system's reactions. Dr. LePera reveals how our past molds our emotions, why connection is our biological imperative, and how to become your own adult parent. JVN opens up about their own "parts," and together they dissect black-and-white thinking, fear, and emotional overwhelm, uncovering real-world strategies to break free! If healing has ever felt messy, scary, or downright nonlinear, this conversation may help you truly "getting better." Dr. Nicole LePera's new book Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them is out March 24th. Full Getting Better Video Episodes now available on YouTube.

What a great episode! Dr. McTier's wisdom and amazing fusion of scientific knowledge with the ability to tell it in a way that is educational, enlightened and accessible to so many people is truly a breath of fresh air. I love science and astronomy, but sometimes those who teach about it can forget that these subjects can be fascinating for everyone, not just to the elite academics that have advanced degrees. Not only that, her perspective on the way the cosmos can be a metaphor for so many aspects of life is awesome. Additionally, I really like that she has taken the time to acknowledge indigenous cultures and wisdom as opposed to the traditional male-centric, western based, "modern" views that are often exclusionary, judgemental and elitist. This mixed with JVN's fantastic ability to weave truth, facts and realness together, provide just the right amount of humor and entertainment to make this perfect. Love it!
