"Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?" -Charles Bukowski-- Society places so many pressures on us. The pressure to be successful, put- together, kind, ambitious, and stable, to name a few. But how do we define them? They become so arbitrary, making them difficult to achieve. So we fall short. We believe we fail. And in comes the negative self talk. In comes the fear. In comes the shame. Therapy can be beneficial to break those cycles of negative self talk and shame. It can be beneficial to explore beliefs and values, and letting those drive who you were meant to be.
