Are you overwhelmed by all the self-help advice out there?
Feeling like every expert is telling us something slightly different to get us to the destination of being healed. But it doesn’t work like that.
In this episode, I discuss how to get the most out of self-help. And I challenge the idea of healing as a destination and emphasize the importance of the self in self-help. We need reflection, radical honesty, and checking our own bullshit to really be able to heal.
I also give tips on how to reflect on your body and needs, assessing the basics before getting fancy, and consciously consuming information.
