Why you resist the change you actually want
From Wellish · 30:36
Show by Sarah Ritondale
Wanting things to change and not wanting to change anything about your life right now can both be true and valid. In this episode, I'm breaking down ambivalence: what it is, how to recognize it, and why you can feel pulled in opposite directions about something you want. Drawing on research and motivational interviewing, I share questions to help you understand what your current habits give you, separate wanting change from feeling capable of it, and choose a manageable next step without beating yourself up.
