Dawna Daigneault - Author Of Understanding Self-Worth: A Guide To Worth-Conscious Theory And Psychotherapeutic Practice

Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. June 16, 2026 Duration: 44:55

Ever feel like you’re constantly "working for your worth"? Most of us have internalized stories of unworthiness that shape how we think, feel, and relate to others. But what if your self-worth wasn't something you had to earn, but a birthright you’ve simply forgotten to honor?


In this insightful interview, I sat down with therapist and author Dawna Daigneault, author of Understanding Self-Worth: A Guide to Worth Conscious Theory and Psychotherapeutic Practice. We dive deep into why "okayness" isn't enough, how childhood conditioning creates "lost worth stories," and practical, actionable ways to finally reclaim the truth of your inherent value. If you’ve ever struggled with shame or the feeling that you need to do more to be enough, this conversation is for you.

Mental health isn't a monologue; it's a conversation we're all having, whether quietly with ourselves or openly with others. On Your Mind is that conversation given a voice, hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Hayes. This podcast moves beyond abstract theory to explore the practical, human side of psychological well-being. Each episode features candid discussions with practitioners who are actively guiding people through their struggles, focusing on tangible strategies for building resilience and achieving a sustainable sense of wellness. You'll hear from therapists, counselors, and other experts within the Journey's Dream community, sharing insights that are as applicable to personal growth as they are to professional development. The dialogue is grounded in real-world experience, offering perspectives on navigating anxiety, improving relationships, fostering emotional fitness, and redefining what it means to be truly healthy. It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves the question in its title-whether you're seeking support for your own journey, supporting a loved one, or simply have a deep curiosity about the inner workings of the human experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, accessible exploration of the mind, where complex ideas are broken down with clarity and compassion.
