Written By Sam Ruckle - Owner at Counsellor at Paper Crane Of Hope

The Dark Side of Self-Help Nobody Talks About — why chasing perfect healing can actually hurt you, and how I got caught in the self-help hustle trap.

Have you ever felt exhausted, frustrated, or even broken by all the self-help advice out there?

You’re not alone.

In this video, I share my honest story about how the self-help scam almost broke me — and what I learned about healing on my own terms.

If you’ve ever felt like self-improvement became a never-ending treadmill… or that the “gurus” profit off your shame and insecurity — this video is for you.

✨ What you’ll learn:

Why self-help can sometimes feel like a scam (and how to spot it)
The exhausting cycle of chasing “perfect” healing and personal growth
How to reclaim your healing journey without shame or hustle
Why healing is messy, non-linear, and deeply human
Real, practical ways to set boundaries, rest, and heal authentically
