If you’re surrounded by people who criticize or invalidate your feelings, it can be harder to develop a positive self image.
It can! The people we surround ourselves with are so important🙌
By judging myself all the time I blocked any chance of improving and achieving my goal. I sabotaged myself from succeeding and lived a life of mostly regrets. Such a shame I wish I could tell my younger self to stop bullying me. I now know I was the reason I didn't do a lot of things I wanted to do. Thank you kindly your videos are inspiring. 🌹
Be kind to yourself, you have always done the best with the knowledge and resources you have🤗
@@vassiasaryou're absolutely right. I can't change my past but I need to focus on the present and build a better future. Thank you 🌹
It's a devastating trauma it is very damaging im 60 in few months and I still suffer from the mental torture of never being good enough. Thank you for your helpful videos 🌹
You are absolutely enough! And you'll always be reminded of that here. I'm happy to help!❤️🩹
@vassiasar thank you for your kind words it means a lot to me.

Really enjoyed this helpful video, at work I never took time for breaks, started today and had 5 minutes to be grateful and write down my first win of the day. So true my brain is always in defense keeping me from danger but no time for happiness. Thank you 😊
This is a fantastic step forward Miguel, you should be really proud of yourself! Thank you so much for sharing this with me🥰
What do the holidays look like for you? How will you be caring for yourself differently this year?🙏🎄
Tell me how you'll be embracing your achievements going forward🙌🎉
These could also be symptoms of menopause. So for ladies, visit a doctor, its surprising how underrated treating these with hormones is.
Menopause can absolutely increase stress, yes. Thanks for adding this!🙌
This is very true…
🙌❤️🩹
😊 im starting to take notes of 3 things i have accomplished during the day and practice gratitude, i will add the joyful breaks. I usually don't let myself have breaks because i feel i need to do more but i really want to take them. I will schedule tomorrow my break 🎉
I hope the break helped, usually we get more done for just taking that time for ourselves!🙏
I am so burnout, I have no motivation for anything anymore. Neither work or hobbies. Life seems so dull now. All you have described applies to me.
@eXpansiveconsciousness oh nooo... I am so sorry to hear that. It's another level of depletion and emptiness, a level we have never imagined it exists. 😩 I've seen and worked with many people at that level. There is no quick fix, but the change happens slowly and transformationally. You are never the same person after burnout and for sure you don't want to go through this again. Contact me at info@vassiasar.com and we can arrange a free discovery call when you're ready to take the next step and create a life of joy, connection and meaning again. It IS possible, trust me 😉
As a parent of daughter who is going through schema therapy how do support my daughter who has shut me out ..
Hi Donna, most of my content covers mental health education and so it can all be helpful but check out our Tips Therapist-Tested series as this covers short, helpful advice that might help🙏 ua-cam.com/play/PLor4JTH9dvsQGxOE54GBr-MYO7A_WGX1S.html&si=NDf2O8Jr4FMHGdZ0
I'm 30 and stuck on self acceptance. Have been stuck on it for many many years, I can't seem to get past this. As someone with 0 romantic relationship experience, no family and close friends I am constantly reminded that I am unworthy of love. I can't come to peace with how physically unattractive I am. I go to the gym, take care of my skin, get occasional haircuts, practice good hygiene and yet I am still hideous. You say every human is worthy of love, why is that? I've learned that no one owes you anything. Maybe I simply exist (ugliness) so the opposite can exist (beauty). Yin and Yang, without darkness there is no light.
Every human is worthy of love because it's one of our rights as humans. I think my video on building unshakeable self worth could be really helpful for you🙏 ua-cam.com/video/Yorjr2I-9mQ/v-deo.htmlsi=eHoUp8CI4s45Yl1U

Brilliant, thank you!
@@InaUldrych thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it 😊
You are exactly right. I am only valued for what I do & I never feel good enough. Because I’m always criticised for now doing enough. It’s an exhausting game. I’ve never had my own life until now aged 52. And I’m fighting for my independence as my mother won’t let me go. I unfortunately live in her house, not with her. And am disabled.
@@selinahkelly4968 I've experienced similar circumstances thankfully I was able to fight my way out. I would keep fighting but hold on to the fact that it's not you who isn't good enough it's sadly them who don't have the capacity to appreciate how lucky they are to have you. My faith as a Muslim kept me strong and even though I still have bad days I keep looking for ways to keep positive and searching for people like selinah to guide me. My prayers and best wishes are with you. 🌹🥰
Do you often get that restless feeling of always needing to be doing more?
How should I deal with my perfectionist brain please give me some insight ? Help me 😢
It's a friggin doll
This is so true. I’ve been struggling with depending on others to feel happy with my life, but I’m starting to change that now and learn to love myself when no one is looking. It’s hard! I’m on the first day of being mindful about it. But I know once I get over the first few days it will be so much easier.
Good for you, this is a really healthy change! It'll feel even better when you can love yourself when people are looking too because it gives them permission to do the same too🙌
Thank you very much! This helps a lot. The problem is I am in the perfectionistic trap created by my family and me and I don't know how to get out of it.
@florisipapadii I know that trap. It's so hard to get out of it, but not impossible. Have a look at my course How to Stop Perfectionism and Start Living. It has helped many other perfectionists get untrapped 🙏 www.antiloneliness.com/how-to-stop-perfectionism.html
Let myself and Giouli know if you have any questions in the comments and we will be sure to answer them!🙏
What should you do if you've already been having conversations in this kind of way, but the other person is unwilling to do the same, continues to tell you that wanting to is dragging up the past, and does nothing themselves to repair things?
Unfortunately this does happen and I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Often couples therapy or a space where you have a mediator to ensure you are both heard and validated can be helpful. Best of luck to you both!🙏
Hi Vassia. According to my knowledge of my self and tests I've taken at different times I was raised to be securely attached. My first test was in January this year with The Attachment Project and the second one was in August with an adult attachment style test that a therapist sent to me and my wife (who left me about 3 weeks ago by leaving me a letter, and leaving while I went to the shop. Since then she's forcing a no contact separation on us) who has taken those same tests with me at those same times. I tested securely attached both times and my wife tested as avoidant in January, and dismissive ambivalent in August. About a 8 or 9 days after she left, The Attachment Project sent me an offer to see if and how my attachment style may have changed since January. My comparison report shows now I'm still securely attached in general but in relationships I'm fearful avoidant/disorganized. I do know that I grew up in a western enmeshed family so I realize I had a fantasy playing out I wasn't fully conscious of until 3 days after she left me. My wife is from a Taiwanese enmeshed family. I'm doing lots of things right for myself but I'm concerned because I know I can't handle it as well as I need to because it's too much and I really shouldn't try to do it all myself. We were together for 10 years. I felt us connect like magnets when our eyes met for the first time 10 years ago. I knew that as it happened. Like Bluetooth devices pairing. I was spiritually awakened at the time. My wife, not so much. During our time together I kept developing in the ways I had been since before we met and she kept people pleasing. We met in a brothel. She had just started pleasing people to that extent. Why I was there I can't even fully understand. Not anymore. I don't think either of us have any reason to be ashamed for doing what we did. We committed to each other a couple of weeks later and of course this included her stopping being with other men which she happily agreed to and already knew. Until 3 months ago I couldn't trust her more. I could swear she would never even look at another many because she loves me so much and isn't like that. That's how I was and saw it in her too. 3 moths ago on a night before flying overseas for 5 weeks I confronted her about weather she really stayed faithful to me from the time we committed. She said no and over the next hour drip fed me the truth. She kept doing it for 6 months. I would drive her to the tram or train. My new faithful, loyal girlfriend (at the time) would kiss me goodbye and wish me a good day. Then go to the city to people please herself and others more than me. As I assume you can imagine by the end of that hour I was really traumatized. The next morning we had to put our discussion on hold so she could fly overseas. A lot more was revealed by drip feeding me over the next 6 weeks. We discussed some of it during that time by phone. She returned and we continued discussing it. By the time we could move past the confession stage my betrayal trauma was pretty extreme. How much I don't know..... I'll stop here for now. I'm exhausted from everything I've been doing to try to save us and now myself. If you want to know more, reach out me and I'll explain anything you might want to know. I don't really know what I need from you but I know I need somebody who understands and can help me. If you read this far I appreciate you and I'm grateful.
Do you struggle with your self confidence? Let me know if you have any questions that I can help you with!💚
Thanks!
I hope it's helpful! Don't forget to check out my inner critic video too if this one resonates🙌
Hi Vassia! This was a nice video! Quite informative! Your channel is severely underrated ❤
Aww thank you for your kind words! I'm grateful for the people who see my videos and find them useful 🙏
Do you have a loud inner critic? What's 1 thing that this video has inspired you to do to take a step towards quietening the inner critic?❤️🩹
Thank you so much. ❤
