A guide to regaining your true self from psychotherapist Lisa Olivera. It will help you realize, understand and transform your life scenario. Perfectionism, self-criticism, impostor syndrome, the desire to please everyone, deep shame, self-doubt - all these are manifestations of the destructive stories that we tell ourselves. They were once a defensive reaction to lack of support, neglect, abuse, or other negative experiences from the past. Now they are pulling us back, preventing us from realizing ourselves and living to the fullest. These stories are based on the false belief that we are not good enough and unworthy of love. If you've ever felt this way, it's probably time to tell yourself a new story. In this gentle, supportive, and hopeful book, psychotherapist Lisa Olivera invites you to acknowledge, process, and rewrite negative life scripts, reminding you that we are the creators of our own stories. Here you will find self-reflection questions, examples and practices that will gently guide you along the path of healing and help you create a new, life-affirming story about yourself.
