EP 613: Dr. Blaise Aguirre - Why We Hate Ourselves

Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of 'I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You'. Recognised for his extensive work in treating mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Aguirre addresses the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short when self-hatred becomes part of someone's identity. Former guests Dr. Abbie Marono and Melli O'Brien shared their own stories of self-loathing. This conversation may sound heavy, but I can assure you, stay with me—it's a fascinating conversation that we can all learn from.
