Why Asking for Help is So Hard: Overcoming Pride and Shame for Better Mental Health

Are pride and shame holding you back from seeking help? Discussing pride, help, shame and how to get out of our own way to receive help when we need it. This episode confronts the long arm of low self worth and helps us confront our do-it-yourself-demons that conspire to keep us in an old pattern of struggle.
