3 Coping Skills For Insecurity That DON’T Work (And One That Does!‪)‬ The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

    • Mental Health

Insecurity is a universal human experience, not a personal failing. Most coping methods actually reinforce insecurities rather than resolving them.



Embracing insecurities as identity reinforces negative thoughts. Denying weaknesses leads to reality harshly exposing them. Overcompensating through impression management is exhausting.



I'll show you how to overcome insecurity through incremental self-improvement. Facing insecurities through gradual exposure therapy diminishes their power.
