The Lie We Tell Ourselves: Why You’re Not as Flawed as You Think
Have you ever found yourself thinking: “There must be something wrong with me?"
It’s a belief that can run so deeply that sometimes we hardly notice when the thought pops up. But that thought often begins at a young age.
Maybe it was planted by someone who simply didn’t have the resources or insight to nurture you in the way you needed. Perhaps the adults around you were too burdened by their own circumstances, and in their struggle to cope, they inadvertently sent you the message that your needs were a nuisance or too big to handle.
When we’re young, we’re wired to assume the adults in our lives know best, so we absorb these cues and interpret them to mean we are the problem. Over time, that message hardened into a false belief that you are fundamentally flawed. Broken. Messed up.
What if there isn’t anything wrong with you at all? What if you only need to recognize that this painful narrative isn’t your own?
We inherit messages from parents, caregivers, or peers—messages that reflect their limitations, not your worth. And because of how vulnerable we are as children—desperate for security and belonging—we learn to blame ourselves for those gaps in care. That self-blame can stick, becoming an underlying narrative of unworthiness.
Healing starts with questioning this belief. Challenge your self-talk: Where did it come from? Is it even true? Allow yourself the space to rewrite that story. Embrace a new narrative that you are whole, worthy, and more than enough.
Yes, you face struggles and challenges as everyone does, but that doesn’t define who you are. Instead, it adds depth to your journey—a page in the book of your life, proof of your resilience and capacity to grow. We all do.
This is our team’s philosophy—guiding you to see that you’re not broken, but simply carrying a story that no longer serves you. Let’s replace it with one that recognizes your inherent worth and potential.
