Everyone says life does not come with an instruction manual. Eilat Aviram does not agree.
Eilat is a Cape Town-based clinical psychologist, speaker and best-selling author, who teaches one deceptively simple idea: how to turn towards yourself and make self-loving choices moment to moment. This episode is the method that gets you there, explained in using a kitchen cupboard, a rescue dog, a GPS and five slices of pizza.

Listen for:

• Why your personality is a set of ingredients rather than a list of faults, and why that includes the hard things that have happened to you
• How to discern a choice that is genuinely good for you from one that only feels good for five minutes
• A step-by-step guide to feel a feeling, using what is happening in your body
• Why no amount of love from someone else can fill the gap, even in a happy relationship
• Where addiction and constant approval-seeking come from
• The powerful Love Question that you can ask when making any decision, big or small, that gives you your own true answer
• Why that answer will often surprise you, and why that is the whole point

Content note: this episode discusses childhood wounding, trauma, addiction and depression in general terms. Please listen with care if these topics are close to home.
