In recent years “mental hygiene” has experienced a resurgence, growing increasingly popular in personal development circles, and in many ways has begun to overlap with the nuances of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. We are a product of our time. Therapy has its place and can be enormously helpful. However, it is at best only a steppingstone, and at worst becomes a diversion in which we become trapped for a long time, even our entire lives—the obsession with fixing ourselves. It is what compels many people to seek out therapy so it should be understood as a natural motivating force. Used in the best way, the “urge to change” becomes a deep curiosity about one’s character and essential nature. The point of this webinar is to illuminate beyond the quality of self-improvement and understand the nature of self-rejection as it relates to the impoverishing quality of mental health conditions.
