Shelley Treacher on Self-Care: Is Putting Yourself First Selfish?

I think that if you know what you want and you can be very clear to everyone around you about that, then everybody knows where they stand with you and they can know how they can help you, or you can help them, or how they can't help you and how you can't help them.
Have you ever wondered if putting yourself first is selfish? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Underground Confidence Recovery', Shelley Treacher, a BACP accredited somatic psychotherapist, takes on this very question. Through her gentle yet powerful approach, Shelley dives into the complexities of comfort eating and self-care, shedding light on why prioritizing your own needs might be the kindest thing you can do for yourself and others.
Shelley understands that many people grapple with guilt when it comes to self-care, especially those who turn to comfort eating as a coping mechanism. She challenges the common notion that self-prioritization is selfish, urging listeners to rethink where this belief originated. Have you ever stopped to consider why you feel guilty about putting yourself first? Shelley invites you to explore this idea and to question the critical self-talk that often holds you back.
One of the standout messages from this episode is the importance of clear communication. By understanding and articulating your own needs, you set the stage for healthier relationships. When you communicate your boundaries effectively, it not only helps you but also allows others to understand and respect your limits. This clarity can lead to more meaningful connections and a greater capacity to support those around you. Shelley's insights are both inspiring and practical.
She encourages listeners to be kinder to themselves and to challenge the negative thoughts that undermine their self-worth. Her advice isn't just about quick fixes; it's about making lasting changes that foster genuine growth and resilience. If you're struggling with comfort eating, low self-worth, or the idea of putting yourself first, this episode offers valuable perspectives that could help transform your approach to self-care.
