Transforming Insecurity

If you feel inadequate (not good enough), question your worth, and are uncertain and anxious about your value, your future, or your relationships, then you're likely struggling with insecurity.

Insecurity can appear as indecision, being self-critical, having low self-esteem, perfectionism, social anxiety, isolation, mistrust, avoiding forming relationships, people-pleasing, and constant stress.

If you are a survivor of childhood trauma and feel a sense of powerlessness as an adult and an inability to have the kind of life you truly desire, complete the form below to learn more about joining this Certified Trauma Recovery Coach facilitated group coaching program.

Transforming Insecurity will help you understand the roots of your insecurity, show up bravely in your life and relationships, able to speak up for your needs, and get the respect, affection, attention, and acknowledgment you deserve.

The goal of this group coaching program is to transform insecurity into self-awareness, self-confidence, self-compassion, and self-love.

You will understand the intersection between insecurity and authenticity and how your unconscious and conscious insecurities keep you from showing up in your life courageously and honestly. You will explore the origins of your insecurities through deep and reflective exercises and chart a new path for stepping into your life with more courage, confidence, and authenticity, able to embrace who you truly are, daring to feel your feelings, and show others your true self without fear of judgment or shame.

Not everyone is a good fit for this group. The most important consideration for any Trauma Recovery Coaching Group is safety. As the leader of the group, it’s my job to make sure that the group will be a safe experience for every participant. We want the group to be a helpful experience for everyone in it – and if the group is repeatedly triggering or causes you to feel unsafe then you won’t be able to receive the benefits from attending it. As a result, in order to enroll in this group, we do have a screening process. This is a very important part of making sure that the group is safe for you and all participants.

The screening process is comprised two parts: an application that I ask you to complete and an interview that I will invite you to attend if I review your application and believe the group is a good fit for you. If, after the interview, both you and I continue to feel that the group is a good fit for you then you will be invited to enroll in it. No payment will be required until you have gone through the screening process and been invited to enroll in the group.
