I’m sitting in this. I’m done being the performative teacher/mentor/coach. It’s how I’ve built every business and platform. I’m stepping out in ways I haven’t before but it feels very foreign and not well received so it makes it very hard to not want to pivot back into the known. Whole new world out here … and I can’t say TT is the place to be either. 🤷♀

💯 This has been hard for me as a therapist marketing my private practice too. I completely agree. 🔥

I love this self-reflection. Have you ever heard of the “fawning” trauma response? My therapist shared this with me. It’s more than just people pleasing, it’s when you try to identify with your abuser to essentially keep surviving in the relationship. When I learned this I felt like I wasn’t only fawning for my ex… but for my career, colleagues, larger society, etc… Also. People have become SO much more desensitized from social media. We need more hooks, attention grabbing phrases, and I can see how that is very similar to trying to convince someone who doesn’t love you, to love you. Because everyone is so desensitized from the dopamine rush that is short social media reels or shocking/exciting content or whatever
