A \xa0few weeks ago, a patient looked at me and said, \u201cI realized that what I needed \xa0- I\u2019d had all along. It\u2019s like the ruby red slippers. You simply have to know their power and your own power.\u201d

I haven\u2019t been able to get that notion out of my head since that session. We all have the capacity to learn, to understand, to see and to have confidence in ourselves - but we can sabotage and discount our strengths, values, talents, and gut feelings.\xa0In this episode, I decided to trust my own red slippers in this episode, sponsored by BetterHelp, and allow my own mind and heart to create a list of ten things that can build self-confidence - and with humility I bring it to you.

This is Movember \u2013 the month where men\u2019s issues, specifically in the way so many disregard their medical and mental health, are highlighted by men growing mustaches \u2013 in a light-hearted but very sincere attempt to throw light on men. Thus the listener email is from a man who writes that he\u2019s begun having symptoms of anxiety and panic at a time when he and his wife are having troubles and she wants a separation.
