“Self care will be engaging in activities that help you live in line with your values, like help you live a life.”
Scrolling through Instagram, you're bombarded with influencers telling you to 'practice self-care' and 'love yourself'. But what does that really mean? In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon cut through the noise to redefine self-care from a clinical psychology perspective. Instead of just bubble baths and face masks, they delve into the principles of Behavioral Activation, a treatment for depression, to highlight activities that genuinely promote mental health.
They explain how true self-care is about engaging in actions that align with your personal values, even if they’re challenging. Jacqueline and Kibby also discuss the importance of novelty and diversity in experiences to boost mental well-being. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand self-care beyond the clichés and learn how to incorporate meaningful practices into their daily lives.
