The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

Take Care Of Yourself As If Your Life Depended On It (Because It Does)

  • Most self-care advice is toxic positivity wrapped in consumerist propaganda. True self-care isn't about spa days and shopping sprees - it's about treating yourself like someone you're responsible for keeping alive.


  • I discovered this truth while teaching burnout prevention to healthcare workers, where I developed the concept of "aggressive self-care." This approach treats self-care as seriously as medical intervention, because your wellbeing literally depends on it.


    In this episode, I'll show you the three core elements of aggressive self-care that can help you build a solid foundation for mental health, even if you're struggling right now. You'll learn practical strategies for feeling as good as you're capable of feeling on any given day.
