Summary
We're on vacation so I've selected several of my favorite podcasts from the first 100 episodes. Again sponsored by BetterHelp, they're my favorites either because of some personal reason or they lay out a practical "what you can do about it" approach! We'll be back November 13th with fresh episodes but I hope you really enjoy this blast from the past.
There's lots of information out there about how to stop beating yourself up or how to increase your self-esteem. But how do-able is it? 'm offering three practical exercises for you to try -- things that I've offered as ideas to my own patients who are struggling with depression and low self-esteem, and are convinced that others look down on them, that they're unacceptable, or that they don't have what it takes to create a good life. You can try these out for yourself!
The email listener for today questions whether or not she has borderline personality disorder, and seems to discount having suicidal thoughts.

Its message is specifically for those with a struggle with strong perfectionism which acts to mask underlying emotional pain.

And it’s available in paperback, eBook or as an audiobook!
