Dr. Shefali, a psychologist and author, explains the 'shadow self' - a part of us we often ignore. She shows how this hidden side can make us seek control and approval from others, even when we think we're just being helpful or trying our best.

Through real-life examples, Dr. Shefali challenges what we think about self-love. She argues that true self-acceptance means facing our fears and insecurities head-on, not hiding from them. She explains why we sometimes lie to ourselves and how to stop.

The clip gives practical ways to better understand ourselves and break free from always needing others' approval. Dr. Shefali teaches us how to align our thoughts, feelings, and actions to live more honestly and happily. By using these ideas, viewers can learn to be more true to themselves and improve their mental health.
