Other people’s expectations only keep their power when some part of you still believes you have to meet them. In this episode, I explain how old beliefs and protective patterns can create emotional burdens around family, approval, and who you think you are supposed to be. You’ll learn how to separate the person from the activated pattern, have more compassion for yourself and others, and maintain strong boundaries without withholding love. The goal is not to become somebody new—it is to unburden the patterns covering up who you already are.

Welcome to Mental Health Mastery where we talk about how to reduce anxiety and depression dramatically, how to move past a lifestyle of just "coping" with bad mental health, and how to have lasting, daily peace of mind. I share the many lessons learned by going from suicidal to depression and anxiety-free in my own life and what I've learned helping over 400 clients reclaim control of their own mental health. We believe you deserve to have significant mental health, and we're excited to help you learn how to have it—hosted by Ty Hicks.
