The Lies Your Mind Tells You About Shame And Failure
I'm hosting a free live discussion and Q&A on Friday, January 31st on how you can still make life feel worth living even in your darkest times.

In this video, I show you how to recognize this mental trap and develop a more balanced self-image. You'll learn practical strategies to counter your brain's negativity bias and embrace both your struggles and strengths.

About The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers
There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge.
