Ever feel like you’re stuck in the same toxic patterns affecting your teen mental health—repeating arguments, habits, and regrets? In this episode of Headstraight, real talk mental health host Mark Taylor helps teens and young adults identify and overcome fear, self doubt, and self-sabotage. We discuss how these behaviors often stem from outdated survival strategies like people pleasing or avoiding conflict, which now hinder emotional wellbeing.
Learn practical ways to spot and interrupt these harmful cycles in real time and how making better choices—not striving for perfection—can free you from guilt and shame. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking teen mental health support and tools to take control of their personal growth. It’s messy and uncomfortable, but that’s exactly where healing and change begin.
If you’re ready to stop letting fear run your life and start prioritizing your emotional wellbeing, come listen and start rewriting your story today.
