When your thoughts won’t quiet
You can’t seem to turn your mind off. You distract yourself with your phone, friends, staying busy, or having a drink, but the worry always returns. The thoughts get louder, more intrusive, until you feel frozen and overwhelmed. Life feels heavy and unpredictable, and you’re not sure how to make it feel manageable again.
When you never feel like you’re enough
No matter what you accomplish, it doesn’t stick. You worry that you’re pretending, that eventually people will see through you and realize you’re not as capable or confident as you appear. When asked what you like about yourself, your mind goes blank. Even with a caring, attentive partner, you feel undeserving of love and quietly expect to be left. This self-doubt didn’t come out of nowhere. It was learned.
When you feel stuck in your own life
Making decisions feels paralyzing. You’re afraid of choosing wrong, disappointing others, or regretting your choice later, so you stay where you are. Whether it’s leaving an unhealthy relationship, changing jobs, or figuring out how to get through your day-to-day responsibilities, you feel unable to trust yourself. Life keeps moving, but you feel left behind, watching instead of participating.
Why this pattern feels so familiar
Many women who were raised by a parent or caregiver that lacked empathy and prioritized their own needs learned early on to doubt their needs, suppress their feelings, and measure their worth by how well they pleased others. These patterns often follow you into adulthood, showing up as anxiety, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. There is nothing wrong with you. These responses once helped you cope, but they no longer serve you.
A different way forward
You don’t have to untangle this alone. Many women I work with have tried to “figure it out” on their own or relied heavily on friends and family, only to feel more confused or like they were asking for too much. In therapy, we work together to understand where these patterns came from, strengthen your sense of self, and help you set boundaries without overwhelming guilt.
You can learn to trust yourself, feel more grounded in your choices, and experience relationships that feel safe and mutual. Change is possible, and it doesn’t require you to become someone else, just to reconnect with who you already are.
