This episode of In Therapy explores how rejecting your true self can be a form of self-harm. When you constantly pretend to be someone you're not, it becomes impossible to truly feel love or connection because others are relating to a false version of you. By embracing authenticity and living from a more genuine place, you allow yourself to experience deeper connections, greater happiness, and a life that feels more aligned with who you really are. Discover why being authentic makes everything in life easier and how you can start living more authentically today.
