To "flourish" in the flow of the world and life isn't just about feeling happy; it's about taking responsibility for the moments when we feel bad.

In this episode of "The Truth with Aslı Şafak," Psychiatrist Dr. Gülcan Özer discusses a person's journey to becoming "the hero of their own life" and the mechanisms they develop in the face of challenges. Drawing attention to the "desensitization" reflex that develops with the survival instinct, Özer emphasizes that while we become desensitized to pain, we also become desensitized to the pleasures, goodness, and even kindness of life over time. Instead of creating a single "package of justifications" for our negative experiences or past events and hiding behind it, she suggests we confront reality and focus on our own "perfection" and transformation.
