Why Men Believe They’re Unlovable (Even When They Aren’t)

Although I am a therapist and a current doctoral student in psychology, the content shared on this channel is for educational and informational purposes only. Watching these videos does not create a therapist-patient relationship between you and me. The insights and tools I share are intended to support general mental health awareness and personal growth, but they are not a substitute for personalized therapy, diagnosis, or professional mental health treatment. If you are experiencing emotional distress, trauma symptoms, or a mental health crisis, I strongly encourage you to seek support from a qualified mental health professional in your area. Your healing journey is personal, and professional guidance can make a meaningful difference. Nordin, T., Degerstedt, F., & Granholm Valmari, E. (2024).
