Modern Beauty Standards Are Ruining Your Life

Psych2Go 2024-07-10 | Are modern beauty standards taking a toll on your self-esteem and mental health? While many self-help videos out there aim to empower people to glow up and look better, and others discuss the reality of pretty privilege, these can be empowering for some but disempowering for others, leading to emotional burnout from trying to keep up with societal trends. This is why we want to talk about it.

Today, let's explore how today's unrealistic beauty expectations can negatively impact your life, body image, and overall well-being.

We'll discuss the pressure to meet modern beauty standards, how pretty privilege affects society, the dangerous effects on self-esteem and mental health, ways to combat body image issues, and strategies for improving mental health care and awareness.

The goal of this video is to raise awareness about the harmful impact of beauty standards and learn how to cultivate a healthier self-image. If you relate to this, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content on mental health and self-improvement!

The Truth About Female Sexual Desire

Psych2Go 2024-07-09 | When you think of sexuality and sexual desire, we often default to the male perspective. Many people assume it's the same for females, but you'd be surprised by how different they are.

In this video, we address common misconceptions and stigma surrounding female sexuality, the truth about female sexual desire, including low sex drive in women and issues like painful sex, and why these things are happening due to the lack of insights.

Our discussion, supported by insights from sex therapists and experts in human sexuality, aims to promote sexual health awareness and mental health awareness.

Hit the play button to learn about the complexities of female sexual desire and offer valuable insights to foster understanding and support.

Disclaimer: While this video focuses on female sexuality, it's important to recognize that many of these traits and insights can apply to individuals of all genders. Human sexuality is diverse and complex, and there are no absolutes. This discussion is intended to provide general insights and should not be interpreted as universally applicable to all individuals.

8 Things That Shouldnt Be Normal

Psych2Go 2024-06-02 | In today's world, there are many things we've come to accept as normal, but it's time we challenge these harmful norms. This video delves into the critical issues that affect our mental health and overall well-being, shedding light on aspects of our lives that desperately need change.

Mental health stigma is something we must break free from. Too often, people suffer in silence, feeling ashamed to seek help. It's time we normalize conversations about mental health and create an environment where everyone feels safe to share their struggles without fear of judgment.

Society often imposes unrealistic expectations on us, creating immense pressure to conform. Challenging these societal pressures and embracing our authentic selves is a courageous step towards true happiness and fulfillment.
