THERAPY FOR Perfectionism & Self-Esteem Throughout KY, NC, & FL
Tired of being your own worst critic?
Let me guess…
You hold yourself to impossibly high standards. No matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough.
On the outside, people see someone capable and put together. On the inside, you’re burned out from trying to prove yourself in every area of your life.
You replay conversations in your head, picking apart every word. You stay up late, haunted by your inner critic, thinking about the past, worrying about the future, and wondering why you can’t break free from patterns that leave you exhausted.
You beat yourself up for mistakes that you wouldn’t think twice about if someone else made them. Doing your best to make it through each day, can feel like you’re running a marathon and leave you exhausted.
You’re tired of feeling like you have to prove yourself in every aspect of your life. You find yourself critiquing every move you make, thinking of things you could have done differently and beating yourself up over perceived mistakes. You understand when other’s make mistakes but practicing self-compassion feels impossible.
It’s hard to accept love from others, when you often don’t even like yourself. You push yourself to prove your worth, both personally & professionally-always feeling like an imposter.
You push hard at work, in relationships, and even with yourself…but no amount of success quiets that nagging sense of “not enough.”
