Carolyn’s Story: A Therapist’s Journey of Embracing What It Means to Be Perfectly Human

In this inspiring podcast episode, we are joined by Carolyn Rubenstein (@carolynrubensteinphd), a therapist based in Florida who specializes in anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism.  From the outside looking in, she seems like a “standard therapist,” but if you listen to this episode or follow her on social media, you’d see that she’s very unlike most therapists in that she readily shares her own struggles with anxiety and depression online to show what it means to be  perfectly human. Within this podcast, we talk about…. -Carolyn’s personal struggles as an individual and what inspired her to get into therapy -how to set boundaries without feeling like a bad person -how healing is a double-edged sword (in that sometimes you feel worse before feeling better) -things you should know about social media before checking it -the flaws associated with going inpatient (that lead many to relapse) -how to tackle anxiety and perfectionism -what to do if you are feeling anxious or depressed Are you Not a Standard?
