We are often our own harshest critics, trapped by a mental framework of how life, people, and we ourselves "should" be. In Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself, renowned psychologist Dr. Chris Thurman identifies this pattern as one of the most toxic cognitive distortions damaging our emotional health, relationships, and spiritual growth.
When we view reality through the lens of "shoulds," we lose our ability to accept and cope with life’s inevitable difficulties. Dr. Thurman deconstructs twenty of the most destructive "shoulds" we impose on ourselves and provides a practical, psychological roadmap to replace condemnation with compassion. This is a "human-first" guide designed to set you free from the cycle of toxic guilt and unwavering shame.
