Judging Yourself Hurts -- Change the Pattern
Self-judgment, shame, and self-hatred all play a role in the inability to love ourselves. How do we change our opinions of ourselves when we have done something wrong? How do we stop judging ourselves when we screw up? How do we end the self-deprecating dialog that goes on in our heads every day? What if we have done something really bad? How do we forgive ourselves? Heal yourself, and your relationships will change in ways you never thought possible! https://linktr.ee/youdontownmep

Self Hatred Hurts
Today we are following up on Overcoming Shame - The journey to self-compassion part 1 with part 2: Self Hatred Hurts. Do you hate parts of yourself?

We talk about strategies to change your self-view, fro

Overcoming Shame - The journey to self compassion part 1
Shame. We all have it about one thing or another. We threw up in 3rd-grade math class once. We made a fool of ourselves at a company party. We don't measure up to our parent's expectations.

Today we discuss shame and how to turn it into compassion for ourselves and others. We are talking about self-punishing habits, how some of us keep shame very clos

Toxic Positivity - What is it and how to stop it
When are good intentions not good? Today we talk about Toxic Positivity and how these seemingly innocuous platitudes can shut down a conversation. How they stand in the way of people getting help and being heard. Saying things like, "remember the glass is half full," or "you are being a baby; in my day, it was much harder," or "we've all been through this. You aren't special" can stop us from truly connecting especially when someone is going through a hardship or in distress. DISCLAIMER:

Struggling with my Looks (per usual)
Hi All,First, I want to acknowledge that I really need to work on my relationship with my hair. That became apparent as I edited this video. Now, when I talk about looks, I am not saying that you can't wear makeup, brush your hair, or try to look nice. I am not saying that we shouldn't want to look nice or have good hygiene. Obviously, there is biology involved in wanting to look good. It does play a role in being attracted to someone, right? I am not making any judgments on all the things we do
