Ep. 226 Self-Hate and the New Year
Why does self hate intensify at the start of the new year? In this episode, I explore self hate, the inner critic, and new year’s resolutions though a psychoanalytic lens, examining how new year pressure, self improvement burnout, and the worthiness wound shape our inner lives. We’ll look at why we hate ourselves, how shame and relational trauma fuel self loathing, and how to begin the year without turning against yourself. This episode is for anyone drawn to depth psychology, therapy conversations, and mental health podcasts that take emotional suffering seriously.
