Is it Self Care?
from You’re Not As F*cked up As You Think You Are! · host elburns02
Do you ever find yourself taking some action you believe to be "self care" in the moment only to look back later and realize it did not, in fact, make you feel cared for in any way? There are so many mixed messages out there about what it actually is, not to mention that the entire concept has been completely hijacked by capitalism! Sometimes it feels a lot harder than it should. Ultimately, these hosts feel that it is a very subjective experience and so this episode will not have recommendations for the best bath bombs or advise you to cancel all your plans. Instead, they will walk you through some ways to figure out what self care actually looks like for your unique self and also how to better identify actions that masquerade as self care but don't deliver in the end.
