Скачать или смотреть Feminist Therapy and EMDR: Healing from Internalized Pressure to Be “Good Enough”

If you are a deep-feeling, conscientious woman, there is a good chance you are intimately familiar with a very specific, quiet kind of exhaustion. It is the exhaustion that comes from waking up every single day and feeling like you are already behind. It is the heavy, invisible burden of striving to be the perfect partner, the perfect professional, the perfect friend, and the perfect daughter, all while a loud inner critic whispers that no matter how hard you work, you are simply not “good enough.”

Many women I work with in my Denver based practice come to therapy feeling completely burnt out by this relentless pressure. They believe that their inability to feel satisfied or at peace is a personal failing. They think that if they could just read one more self-help book, organize their schedule better, or try just a little bit harder, they would finally arrive at that elusive state of being "enough."

But as a therapist with over 17 years of experience, I want to offer you a radically different perspective: This pressure is not a character flaw. It is not an error in your brain. It is the predictable, perfectly logical result of living in a culture that profits from your self-doubt. And you do not have to carry it forever.
