App Permissions
What you allow different areas of your life to access. The boundaries between work, relationships, health, and identity.
Alex Cooper and the False Hope Cycle with Parents
App Permissions is about what you allow different relationships to access — your vulnerabilities, your emotional interior, your real feelings. Alex Cooper's central advice is to stop giving parents access to the parts of you they've consistently weaponized. If your mom has never responded well to your career anxieties, she doesn't get that data anymore. You narrow her access to what she can handle without causing damage.
