Almost all of us have that super caring yet extremely annoying friend who insists on rescuing you when you’re physically or emotionally downsolutions down your throat without awareness of what you want or what may work in your situation.
It’s no wonder that despite a global self-care industry worth almost $1.5 trillion and increasing, the rates of stress, burnout, depression and hopelessness continue to rise. We’re wasting a ton of time, effort and money on products and services that may provide a temporary high but leave us right where we are.
Those of us who grow up in homes where we’re offered immediate solutions for our feelings are disconnected with our emotions. And in homes where caregivers aren’t able to help us manage our emotions, our ability to do so ourselves is compromised. Emotions feel scary, we learn to numb them instead of understanding what they want from us.
Judgment also stems from society, where cultural biases determine the expectations on women. This is way worse for working women who face myriad barriers to their advancement based on their gender. Overcoming these barriers for good begins with the inner work of understanding our own internal barriers, giving ourselves permission to feel and to want, and being our greatest advocate in honoring them.
