we’re often told to strive for success, and with so much pressure on constant achievement, we can come to fear failure of any kind. while this fear may exist to protect us from the disappointment and shame that comes with failure, it ultimately prevents us from engaging with life to the fullest. in this episode, I reflect on my relationship to failure, how this fear of failure can arise, and steps to take to challenge your fear. resources:https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-14500-00https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00050060310001706997https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/overcoming-fear-failure-universityhttps://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/thinking-more-positively-about-failurehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35kY-dpafXs&ab_channel=MichelleGiasocials! ⭐️youtube/spotify: my reflective spaceinsta: myreflectivespacetiktok: myreflectivespacesubstack: myreflective space (coming soon)
