You are your harshest critic. You feel self-doubt, insecurity and you sometimes withdraw from doing the things you enjoy. Your feelings of depression, anxiety, or memories of past traumas are sapping the life out of you. You may use maladaptive coping behaviors (eating disorders, substance use, self-harm, anger, avoidance, etc.) to subdue the experience. I believe every person has the inherent wisdom needed to live a fulfilling life.
​
Sometimes we just need help connecting to those parts of ourselves.
