Sense of Guilt, Low Self-Worth, and High Expectations | Not Psychologists Talks with Jason and Yurii

"Anytime I was achieving something, I do not remember somebody ever telling me congratulations or some kind of support. Maybe it was, but I cannot recall it." In this episode, we discussed Yurii's story of dealing with feelings of guilt, diminishing self-worth, and the struggle to live up to self-imposed expectations, in particular: 👉 Struggling with guilt and learning self-compassion. 👉 How cultural backgrounds shape our emotional experiences. 👉 Challenges of dealing with unspoken expectations. 👉 Using humor as a coping mechanism. 👉 Importance of community in processing trauma.
