“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”  ~Coco Chanel. Being yourself, your authentic self seems like a simple concept. Just be you---but It’s not that easy. When looking at who you are there are many layers of your identity as a person. In fact, there is a branch of humanistic psychology--which studies the whole person and the uniqueness of each individual.

In this episode, we explore the foundation of humanistic psychology. We will learn about theories that are rooted in the understanding of self-actualization and the congruence of self-image and the ideal self. And discuss how letting go of expectations of your ideal self can help you understand who you really are as a person.
