Our childhood experiences, traumatic events, and societal pressures fundamentally shape our ability to trust ourselves as women, creating patterns of self-doubt and external validation-seeking that can last a lifetime.

• Childhood conditioning creates the foundation for self-trust issues through emotional invalidation, overcontrol, excessive criticism, and inconsistent parenting
• Trauma profoundly disrupts self-trust by disconnecting us from our bodies, shattering our sense of safety, and fostering shame and self-blame
• Society bombards women with messages that we're "too emotional," should prioritize pleasing others, must be perfect, and aren't as competent as we actually are
• Understanding these patterns isn't about self-blame but gaining awareness to begin healing
• Rebuilding self-trust requires compassion, patience, and sometimes professional support
• Journal prompts can help explore experiences of dismissal, childhood messages about behavior, and perfectionism as starting points for healing
