Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Kelley Sgroi a mental health counselor shared her journey of healing from low self esteem/self worth to building self confidence. She was adopted at 6 weeks old and even though her adopted parents were loving, she didn’t feel like she belonged and always felt damaged and abandoned. Because her parents weren’t emotionally available, she wasn’t allowed to express her true feelings/emotions, always expected to behave and be a good girl. She developed the false belief system that she needed to be perfect to be to be alive, to exist. She said that when parents keep criticizing their children, the kids start hating themselves and play out experiences that hurt them in their childhood in adult relationships until they’re able to deal/resolve that trauma. When she started looking inwards and doing the work to heal, her life started changing.

After a failed marriage, and surviving a narcissistic relationship, she had to take a hard look into her life and realized she was the common denominator and at that point started seeking help for healing. She started therapy and became a therapist herself. Everything she experienced has led her to a remarkable journey of self discovery. She said the way to release old mindsets is by Identifying where you feel anxiety, checking in with yourself and understanding where your negative self talks is coming from, what is the origin of those lies and self limiting beliefs/toxic thoughts about yourself? Remember that What people say about you is a projection about themselves and not you.
