Note sull'episodio

Self-help books, podcasts and videos can be incredibly supportive on your mental health journey — but they can also become overwhelming, confusing or even discouraging when used without guidance.

In this episode, Dr. Yadegarfard explains why self-help often feels powerful at first, why it sometimes leaves people feeling “stuck,” and how to use self-help resources in a way that genuinely supports your growth rather than pressures you.

You’ll learn:

• The psychology behind why self-help works for many people

• Why awareness alone doesn’t automatically lead to change

• Common pitfalls that make people feel stuck or overwhelmed

• How to choose self-help resources wisely and avoid information overload

• How to use self-help as a companion — not a replacement — for therapy

• A simple framework for integrating self-help into real-life progress
