Episode #58: The Roots of Self-Hate with Dr. Blaise Aguirre
In this enlightening episode, we delve into the complex origins of self-hatred with Dr. Blaise Aguirre, a renowned psychiatrist specializing in adolescent mental health and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Dr. Aguirre discusses how self-hatred often stems from early life experiences, such as invalidation and unrealistic expectations, and how these feelings can persist into adulthood.
Drawing from his extensive clinical experience and insights from his book, I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You, Dr. Aguirre emphasizes that self-hatred is a learned behavior, not an inherent trait. He introduces practical strategies to help individuals separate their identity from these destructive beliefs and begin the journey toward self-compassion and healing.
Whether you've personally struggled with self-loathing or are seeking to support someone who has, this episode offers valuable perspectives and tools to foster understanding and growth.
