We'll trace the origins of these traits back to the 1950s when cardiologists first identified them, and discuss how their outward continuous drive is often an internal struggle for validation and emotional support.

This episode sheds light on the true motivations behind their productivity and sense of urgency—offering a fresh perspective on what really drives Type A behaviour.

For instance, why "younger self" might be a more approachable term than "inner child," and how "self-value" can provide a deeper connection than "self-worth."
