How To Forgive Yourself Pt. 2!

Hannah Montana was correct when she said “nobody’s perfect,” so please, please, start to forgive yourself more often and watch the first part of this two part series so you don’t miss anything. As always, please feel free to run this by a therapist - especially the exercise, expert advice and insight is always necessary and appreciated. Hope you leave this episode feeling extra refreshed, maybe even a bit lighter, you deserve it.
