Podcast:
In Swim Jump Fly I talk about my podcast called Tyranny of the Shoulds, where I interview guests about different shoulds in their lives.
It’s based on a concept by Karen Horney, a German/American psychotherapist who said there were two types of self; a real self, and an ideal self. The ideal self is one that we will never reach, because perfection is not realistic. What other people want for us is much harder to sustain. All these shoulds that we carry around can often make us unhappy.
