Perhaps this can help you better define what would help you relax and be yourself more.

This is a fascinating talk! I love the analogies of physical to mental. It's so basic and simple, I can't believe I've never heard it explained this way. I'm not sure if I agree with his theory that catharsis is not an effective treatment for healing. Other than that it is very well put. I started crying at the very beginning when he said a lot of people suffer from the damage of rejection. It especially resonated when he said he gets more and more patients having issues with social media and feeling rejected. I feel so crazy and unvalidated whenever I bring up social media issues. So this video is very refreshing. I haven't had time to finish the last 5-10 minutes when he talks about solutions. He did start off with talking about building self esteem as a solution which helps me know that I am right on track with being a better person.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I would recommend it to anyone!
