In our society today, it can be hard to feel any degree of self-worth. We are bombarded with the shame of not living up to our own expectations, or the expectations of others. We cannot live up to the photoshopped and retouched images that seem to tell us that to be happy, we must look, dress or act in a certain way, or get straight As and go to an Ivy League university. We are not able to compete with celebrities and influencers—we are just one social media ‘like’ in a sea of admirers, wishing to be someone or do something.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-find-freedom-from-the-shame-spiralOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-BetterHelp: Get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com/drleaf.-InsideTracker: For a limited time, get 20% off the entire

We actually aren’t supposed to remember everything. The brain is designed to forget things that are not useful to us.
