Philippe Tahon, the insightful psychotherapist and coach, dives into a topic many of us struggle with - laziness. In this episode of 'Shrink, the podcast for the mind', Philippe unpacks the concept of laziness, challenging the myths that surround it. He argues that what we often label as laziness is actually a complex mix of psychological and emotional factors.
From burnout and fear of failure to unmet needs and cultural pressures, Philippe explores how these elements contribute to what we mistakenly call laziness. Philippe shares his personal experiences, admitting that even he has felt the sting of self-judgment when procrastinating.

Whether it's physical exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, or simply a lack of motivation, understanding these underlying issues can help reframe our relationship with rest and productivity. Throughout the episode, Philippe provides practical tools to help you rethink laziness. He suggests breaking tasks into smaller steps, recognising when you need rest, and reconnecting with your purpose. He also highlights the importance of self-compassion and the dangers of guilt, which he describes as one of our worst enemies.

By the end, you'll have a new perspective on laziness and some valuable strategies to tackle it in your own life. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and get ready to rethink what it means to be lazy.
