Why does self hate intensify at the start of the new year? In this episode, I explore self hate, the inner critic, and new year's resolutions though a psychoanalytic lens, examining how new year pressure, self improvement burnout, and the worthiness wound shape our inner lives. We'll look at why we hate ourselves, how shame and relational trauma fuel self loathing, and how to begin the year without turning against yourself. This episode is for anyone drawn to depth psychology, therapy conversations, and mental health podcasts that take emotional suffering seriously.

There are a lot of difficult parts of being human, and all of those things tend to revolve around feelings that arise within us that are hard to tolerate. Feelings that we have never been taught to feel. Feelings that we have been told are bad. Feelings that now, when they arise, overwhelms, paralyzes and collapses us. In this new series on RECLAIM called Reclaiming What Is Hard, I want to break down some of these difficult feelings, shed light on what they may mean, and explore different ways of thinking and relating to them so that you may find wisdom in what is hard. In this episode, I explore embarrassment including why it can paralyze us, why some of us seek it out and how we can relate to it so it stops getting in our way.
