ISRAA NASIR, MHC-LP
Through personal insights and behavioral psychology, Israa Nasir highlights how a results-driven culture can lead to toxic productivity—where productivity becomes a measure of personal value, overshadowing basic human needs and leading to negative habits like perfectionism and self-neglect—and what you can do to help your clients shift away from it.
When self-care becomes self-sabotage, it’s time to help clients break free from toxic productivity. Israa Nasir, MHP, LPC explores how consumer-driven self-care can become a harmful cycle, plus strategies to help clients reflect on their self-care practices and motivations.
