In relationships, focusing on being one's best self rather than trying to change the other person leads to personal growth. It allows individuals to learn about themselves, act in alignment with their values, and set goals. People often struggle to change themselves, making it unrealistic to expect to change others. Change involves stages such as pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance, with the maintenance stage being crucial for long-term success.
Could it be that today’s increased awareness about emotions, and our obsession with mental health issues, are actually causing more mental health issues? More people are doing therapy, but are those people potentially doing it wrong?
Therapist, counselor, and author Lori Gottlieb says that a lot of our culture’s approach to mental health is wrong.
In today’s podcast, we discuss what it takes to do therapy effectively. We discuss the prevalence of mental health content online and why that may be a bad thing. We talk about how people’s misunderstandings of vulnerability and boundaries can backfire. And we get into the effect social media might be having on this.
Enjoy.
