Do you find it hard to be kind to yoursélf? To do what makes you happy? Do you prefer to meet the expectations of others?
I know how you feel.
I felt just like that.
I always preferred to do what others expected me to do. That has led to a lot of good things: nice friends, a loving husband, a cum laude university degree, and even a doctor’s title.
But also to a burnout, and “I can’t go on like this…”
I went looking for help. Talked to psychologists, therapists and coaches, started with mindfulness, and read various self-help books.
During more than two years of intensive guidance, I learned a lot about myself and others; I realized that I’m totally different from other people, but I have the same needs as most people.
