Yes, the self-help industry is playing off the need for outside validation. The industry uses perfectism to keep clients in consistent feelings of needing to be fixed. They use the tactic of fixing this one thing about yourself to be worthy of what you desire. Packaged in this idea that you are healing yourself, but in reality, you are continuing to regret yourself in your authenticity. The true journey is self-validation, through being our confirmation and saying yes to ourselves we find our true worthiness. We show up in the world imperfectly authentic and because we accept ourselves others accept us too.
