Is it possible your expectations of your therapist are holding back your mental health? It’s common for clients, especially those recovering from trauma or with low self-esteem, to expect therapists to be perfect. However, placing them on a pedestal only reinforces unhealthy beliefs and prevents true healing. In this episode, I explain why recognizing therapists as human beings—with flaws and struggles—helps Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) build trust, set boundaries, and foster real emotional growth. Discover how honesty and vulnerability create stronger therapeutic relationships that lead to long-lasting mental health benefits.

That was a very disappointing episode.😥 I'll admit to not hearing the entirety of Biden's speech, so maybe he was being squirrelly or manipulative, but the reasoning was sound. I also don't know what exactly Nikki meant as someone's feelings or beliefs all being equally valid. Yes they're all equally valid to have, but some beliefs are based upon falsehoods or just a lack of understanding and knowledge as to the reasoning. Unfortunately society these days requires a fair degree of specialization just due to the sheer volume of knowledge out there. There is no way I could possibly understand the intricacies of many areas, particularly the hard sciences, without a large degree of knowledge of the underlying concepts. Which is why we defer to peer review. It's surely not a perfect way to disseminate knowledge, but it's one of the best ways I can think of right now. I also don't like the characterization that COVID is not an issue of immediate danger like with an oncoming train. Many peopl
