About this episode
<p>Your values are perfect - according to our resident psychologist Dr. Emily Musgrove.</p> <p>Although this sounds counter intuitive to what we usually say…it’s actually a beautiful place to start.</p> <p>Figuring out what your values are, and where they come from can be a pretty intense experience. Lucky we have Dr Em to help, breaking down why they are important and how they can add purpose to your life. As she explains, our values work like a compass, and when used responsibly, can point us in the direction of the person we want to be.</p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode:</p> <p> </p> <p>🎧 Previous episodes of The Imperfects<br>Pat Cummins - Love, Loss & Life - <a href="https://apple.co/4eHc4zJ">https://apple.co/4eHc4zJ</a> </p> <p>The Academy of Imperfection - Ben Crowe - <a href="https://bit.ly/3MrxtRN">https://bit.ly/3MrxtRN</a> </p> <p>James Clear - Down The Habit Hole - <a href="https://bit.ly/3XZhQGr">https://bit.ly/3XZhQGr</a> </p> <p>Chrissie Swan - Honesty - <a href="https://bit.ly/3qL7WeO">https://bit.ly/3qL7WeO</a> </p> <p><br>📺 Things to watch</p> <p>Life of Brian “Individual” - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bLR74U">https://bit.ly/4bLR74U</a></p> <p> </p> <p>📖Steven Hayes books to read </p> <p>A Liberated Mind - <a href="https://amzn.to/4bRIHJz">https://amzn.to/4bRIHJz</a> </p> <p>Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - <a href="https://amzn.to/3Wp95ou">https://amzn.to/3Wp95ou</a> </p> <p><br>🛠️ Tools to use</p> <p>The Resilience Project 6 month journal - <a href="https://bit.ly/3RUBke7">https://bit.ly/3RUBke7</a></p> <p>Steve Hayes’ research into values - <a href="https://bit.ly/4fhrsnU">https://bit.ly/4fhrsnU</a></p> <p><br>📺 To watch the full episode on YouTube, click here: <a href="https://bit.ly/46795xC">https://bit.ly/46795xC</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Dr Emily is a clinical psychologist and you can find out more about her here - <a href="https://bit.ly/4gesuBy">https://bit.ly/4gesuBy</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
