Do you struggle with not being where you thought you’d be by now?

Maybe you thought you’d have reached a certain point in your career, be in a serious relationship or be married with kids by now.  Although you work hard, you’re constantly striving for something better and you never feel satisfied or able to relax, and it’s as if everyone else has it all figured out.

Striving for perfection means you never seem good enough, and this makes you anxious about work, your relationships or your parenting. You worry about people’s judgements of you and get stuck overanalysing and overthinking things.

 

YOUR FEAR OF FAILURE MAKES YOU GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO AVOID MISTAKES OR ASKING FOR HELP

Your inner taskmaster sets the bar ever higher, and you risk burnout. Your relationships suffer and you feel lonely even when you’re with others.

 

You might have read or heard about imposter syndrome

While it explains a lot, it doesn’t stop you from feeling as if you don’t belong, aren’t good enough, and the fear of getting things wrong. You’re often overwhelmed and although you know you’re bright, it’s as if you aren’t excelling in anything.

FAQs
