Ever wonder to yourself - why am I so unsure about everything I do? How do I know the decisions I make are rational or what’s best for me? Or maybe you fall in line with a thought like - what did I do last night and why did I make the choices I did? Perhaps you experience a feeling of shame or guilt that can only be described as deflating, crushing, or heavy. With this feeling you might have thoughts that you are not good enough or not worthy of friendships, wellbeing, or life itself. Do you find yourself pushing people away that care about you, leaning on unhealthy coping methods, or spending more and more time alone?
