About this episode
A lot of us feel like we don’t deserve to have our dreams come true or have good things happen to us, and sometimes, no matter how far we’ve made it or how much we’ve already accomplished, we still don’t feel content. Why is that?
The answer isn’t an easy one. Most likely, it’s when we grapple with feelings of self-loathing or self-hatred. Self-loathing is defined as a hatred for oneself that often manifests as anger, self-sabotage, a negative view of oneself, and low self-esteem.
