In this episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we take a deep dive into willpower - what it really is, how it works, and why it so often fails us. From the neuroscience of self-control to the myths surrounding "mental strength," we explore whether willpower is a reliable path to lasting change or just a short-term burst of motivation. You'll hear how it shows up in mental health, relationships, and addiction recovery - and why overvaluing it can lead to shame, blame, and burnout. Join us as we unpack the science, challenge the stigma, and offer practical tools to build systems, habits, and self-compassion that go far beyond sheer willpower.
