Self-doubt often shows up hand-in-hand with anxiety. It can sneak into your thoughts, relationships, and even your career, leaving you second-guessing yourself and questioning your worth.
You give your all, but it still never feels like it’s enough.
Decisions feel overwhelming because you’re afraid of making the wrong choice.
You hold back from speaking up, unsure how others will take it.
Comparing yourself to others leaves you questioning your own path.
You replay conversations in your head, wondering if you came off weird or said something wrong.
Self-doubt isn’t just a fleeting feeling, it’s an exhausting cycle that keeps you second-guessing yourself and your place in the world.
Therapy for Self-Doubt in California:
From Self-Doubt to Confidence…
Why Does Self-Doubt Show Up?
Self-doubt often stems from:
Perfectionism: The pressure to always do better or be better.
Critical past experiences: Moments where you felt judged, rejected, or not enough.
Comparison culture: Social media and societal expectations can make you feel like you’re falling behind.
Fear of failure: A belief that mistakes define your worth.
While these patterns feel exhausting, the good news is they can be understood, challenged, and changed through therapy.
