The Growing Circle #1: I Doubt Myself… but What Exactly Am I Doubting?
Have you ever felt you weren't good enough, legitimate enough, or strong enough?
Even when life seems to be going well, doubt can creep in: an inner critic, a harsh view of yourself, a quiet feeling of being "less than." This isn't a flaw. But "I doubt myself" can mean very different things, and self-esteem and self-confidence are words we often use loosely.
This is the first session of The Growing Circle, a new monthly mental health series facilitated by psychotherapist Arnaud Guibert and hosted with Social ChangeMakers.
🌿 What we'll explore together
What self-esteem and self-confidence mean to you
Situations from your own life and what they bring up for you
How one small action can strengthen both
A personal grounding phrase to take home
💫 How the session works
Short individual exercises, then conversations in pairs or groups of three. We open by setting a clear group framework: confidentiality, voluntary participation, respectful and nonjudgmental listening, and the freedom to step back at any time. You share only as much as you want.
A chance to ease the pressure, breathe, and reconnect with your sense of worth, at your own pace.
