146 — 10 Things Being a Therapist Taught Me About the Human Experience

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

There are foundational beliefs, fears, and struggles that all humans grapple with. Yet, many of those things are never discussed. As a therapist, however, I get to hear what people are really thinking and it's taught me a lot about the common experiences we have as humans.

Some of the things I share are:

• The 10 universal truths I've learned about human nature
• Why these things are rarely talked about
• How to cultivate self-compassion, embrace vulnerability, and nurture hope
• How to alleviate feelings of isolation
• The factors that contribute to personal growth
