What this episode covers
In this 61st episode, Dr. Knabb explores the difference between conditional self-esteem, which is temporary, and unconditional self-acceptance, which may bring with it more lasting joy, contentment, and fulfillment in life, anchored to rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Drawing upon insights from both the secular clinical psychology literature and Christian writings, including Scripture, Dr. Knabb helps listeners to begin to pivot from conditional worth to God's grace, concluding with a short meditative practice.
