Confidence and Self-Esteem

Are you your harshest critic?

Do you find yourself doubting your worth, second-guessing your decisions, or feeling like you're never quite good enough, no matter how hard you try?

Perhaps you compare yourself to others, stay silent when you want to speak out, or avoid opportunities because the fear of failure or judgment feels too overwhelming.

If that feels familiar, you’re not alone. Struggles with confidence and self-esteem are often influenced by unresolved experiences from our past: experiences that quietly taught you to doubt your worth, your voice, or your right to occupy space.

You may have lived through moments of rejection, bullying, humiliation, criticism, or relationship breakdowns. Or perhaps you experienced trauma that left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or not good enough. Over time, those experiences can turn into beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “Why am I so stupid?” You begin to carry those beliefs with you, and they quietly influence how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you.

You might feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, constantly battling your inner critic, or withdrawing when what you truly want is connection and confidence. These patterns aren’t personality flaws; they’re protective responses shaped by what you’ve been through. Parts of your limbic system remember, even when your rational brain tells you to “get over it.”
