In this episode, Armand DiMele speaks with Dr. Elaine Aron, author of ‘The Undervalued Self.’ They explore the concept of self-worth and how individuals often undervalue themselves due to social hierarchies and comparisons. Dr. Aron discusses the importance of recognizing the difference between ranking and linking in relationships, emphasizing that true self-esteem comes from loving connections rather than societal standings. The conversation delves into the psychological impacts of feeling inadequate and the role of attachment in shaping our self-perception. Listeners are encouraged to foster linking relationships to combat feelings of undervaluation.
