You overachieve and try to prove yourself so no one will realize how flawed you feel. In fact, you are surprised that no one has realized that you are actually an impostor. As a result, you don’t let many people get to know “the real you,” and to be honest, you’ve been at this charade for so long that don’t even know who “the real you” is anymore. You are left feeling disconnected and lonely.
Perfectionistic to the core, you get upset with yourself if you can’t do something well, even if you are trying something for the first time. You don’t like asking for help because you think you should be able to figure it out on your own. Oftentimes, failure can seem like a fate worse than death, so you avoid failure as much as you can. Along these lines, you like to be in control and feel really uncomfortable (even scared) when you aren’t.
Despite all of your accomplishments, you don’t feel that you contribute enough, are good enough, that you deserve good things, and you have difficulty getting excited about things because you fear that you will just have further to fall. Paradoxically, focusing so much on the importance of achievement actually holds you back from achieving your full potential.
And when you think about getting some help, you think, “If I ask for help, it means I can’t handle it, I’m defective and will be a burden to others.”
You know you need someone in your life to help you with this, but you don’t know who that someone is (and you don’t know if you can ask).
I’m not a “traditional” coach or therapist, though I do have all of the training of a clinical psychologist and much more, including an anxiety and trauma specialization, two years of training with Aaron T. Beck, the father of Cognitive Therapy, and 20 years of experience doing coaching, assessment and therapy.
Clients joke that I use magic on them. They aren’t wrong. After my formal training, I studied Jungian analysis, quantum physics, psychological shamanism, inner child healing, dream work, consciousness evolution, meditation and mindfulness, the Law of Attraction, manifesting, mysticism, pagan magic and extrasensory perception (ESP).
I work with high achievers, like you, who have obtained the American Dream and feel like you’ve been sold a bill of goods because you don’t feel any happier or like your life any more (than before you achieved “The Dream”). In fact, you probably feel depressed, anxious, neurotic or numb. You’ve found out the hard way that happiness and freedom are inside jobs.
I combine traditional and esoteric training with intuitive abilities to find and heal the root of these problems, so you can stop the fake-it-until-you-make-it routine and experience freedom and joy as more than just pipe dreams.
