It's Hard not to be Hard on Yourself You know you struggle with perfectionism. You’ve heard about self-compassion. But when you try to offer yourself kindness, it doesn’t seem to stick. You may be highly capable and responsible — someone others rely on — yet you feel invisible or guilty when you need support. You tend to internalize blame, even when you’re doing everything you can to keep things together. On paper, life looks good. Inside, you feel frozen, anxious, or chronically on edge. You’ve survived hardship or trauma, and it feels like this should be the easier part — but instead, it keeps getting harder. If this resonates, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening, feel safer in your body, and start making choices that actually work for you.
