There's Nothing Wrong With You — Why Treating Yourself as a Problem to Solve is Making Everything Worse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the belief that something is wrong with you is itself the problem?
Treating yourself as a series of problems to be fixed adds one enormous, exhausting project to an already overwhelming list. And it's a project you can never finish — because there was nothing wrong with you in the first place.
- why the "fix yourself" approach to overwhelm makes it worse not better
- how self-improvement culture accidentally convinces us we're broken
- the whack-a-mole effect of treating yourself as a problem to solve
- what changes when you drop the project of fixing yourself
- a gentler, truer way of being with yourself that actually works
For anyone who's spent years working on themselves and still feels like they're not quite there yet. You're already there. You just can't see it yet.
