This is me. I am working on it - with support. But honestly, I can’t imagine what it might feel like in my body to operate from a baseline perspective of myself as inherently valuable. It feels like something so abstract.
I don’t know how to not filter my experiences through the lenses that are fitted to my eyes. It certainly hasn’t shifted on the basis of intellectual understanding of what’s actually happening in my nervous system.
But then also, once, not all that long ago, I hadn’t heard of attachment styles and such things. Who knows what’s around the next bend in the road…
Keep enquiring Jenny, and you will eventually find ways to rebuild trust in yourself. The journey is not intellectual, it requires action: taking small risks everyday that generate micro-successes. You are the author, rewrite the script.

I really enjoy this one! I am an anxious individual. Growing up in a household has taught me to read people's emotions. As a 24-year-old, it was difficult to adjust, especially since I am still accepting things. Your essay speaks to me since I am unique in the way I build my work. I really love it! It sounds like my own journey of growing up and learning about self-work and self-validation.
Thank you so much for writing this! It has resonated heavily with me, and I hope to find a way out of this vicious cycle. 💜
Thank you for writing this. I have always wondered if there is ever a way out of the Catch22, your article gives a path.
