Mary Beth Fox-Not Good Enough Stuff

Jeffrey interviewed Mary, a therapist from Ashland, Oregon who developed a therapeutic approach called "Not Good Enough Stuff" to help clients address internalized feelings of inadequacy. Mary explained how these feelings often originate from childhood messages received from family, society, and culture, and can manifest as self-blame and negative self-talk. She described her personal journey that led to becoming a therapist, including a car accident at age 28 that left her temporarily paralyzed and revealed underlying childhood trauma. Mary discussed her current work running a group practice in South Haven, Mississippi, and her efforts to publish a book titled "Not Good Enough Stuff" that outlines her therapeutic approach and includes research supporting the concept.
