It’s OK To Never Be OK

Happiness isn't a natural state for everyone, and that's perfectly fine. I've spent decades fighting against my brain's inability to maintain joy. Interestingly, constantly chasing happiness makes you more miserable. My breakthrough came when I stopped fighting against my natural emotional baseline. In this video, I'll show you why accepting your unique emotional framework and focusing on less-leaky emotional buckets can create a more fulfilling life. I'll also explore how neurodiversity affects our emotional experiences and why traditional happiness-seeking might be holding you back.⁠ Get Practical tools for navigating life with depression and anxiety, delivered weekly⁠⁠. ⁠Mood Bloom games for depression and anxiety⁠ (I have partnered with this brand) Dramatically improve your sleep in 2 steps⁠ with my new Sleep Workbook. ⁠⁠My book: For When Everything is Burning⁠⁠ 3 Unique ways to work with me ⁠⁠Connect with me on TikTok Connect on Instagram⁠ Disclaimer: This content is not intended to be a replacement for receiving treatment.

Om Podcasten

There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge.
