This still happens to my coaches and therapists.
They know the cycle. They’ve mapped the experience.
Helped others through it a thousand times. But then it happens to them and suddenly they are the problem again.
Forgetting their own worth and falling into a shame spiral - even though they cognitively know better.
Picture this: You’re grounded, clear, aligned. You’ve done so much work. But something happens
A session doesn’t land, someone gives feedback, a moment of disconnection with someone you care about and it hits.
Not the emotion. Not the behaviour. You already know those through and through.
It’s the meaning around what happened, the real trigger.
“Maybe I’m not good enough.”
“Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this.”
“Maybe I’m too much… or not enough.”
You catch yourself, but you still spiral - just quietly, internally, subtly.
Shame doesn’t care how much you know.
This is the work.
The real work.
The shadow side of self-worth
Not just knowing the triggers, but catching the meaning-making before it becomes your truth.
Acute awareness isn’t just for clients - it’s for you too.
Especially you.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a spiral, even though you “should’ve” known better - let that be the proof you’re human.
And let it be the invitation to meet yourself more gently.
Slow down. Shame is subtle, it binds to other emotions, it disguises itself. Not always in plain sight.
DM me if you’re ready to break the shame cycle with compassion, not perfection.
Find Your Worth. Conquer Shame
If you are coach or therapist wanting that point of difference, for trauma work done properly then comment GROWTH
