Welcome to Therapy Matters with David Eli Recinos, LCSW. This episode explores why long-standing patterns of thought, behavior, and emotion become harder to change as people age, often resulting in irritability, rigidity, and strained relationships.

We examine developmental origins such as inconsistent caregiving and poor empathy modeling, the role of impulsivity in perspective-taking, sociocultural influences, and therapeutic approaches to interrupt intergenerational cycles by cultivating self-awareness, emotion regulation, and healthier relational modeling.

Learn practical strategies for breaking cycles of dysfunction through reflection, skill-building, and intentional modeling of empathy and self-regulation.
