  • 3 Ways Past Relational Trauma Impacts Adult Relationships & Makes Them Feel HARD

    Why do relationships sometimes trigger anxiety, jealousy, or the feeling that you’re not enough, even when things seem fine on the surface?


    I’m Carly Ann, a psychotherapist and coach specialising in self-esteem and self-worth. I work with people who appear capable and self-aware on the outside, but internally struggle with self-doubt, rumination, perfectionism, or relationship anxiety. You might know you’re worthy, yet still feel patterns repeating that leave you unsettled in your connections.


    In this episode, I talk about how relational trauma can quietly show up in your adult relationships and anxiety. This isn’t about tips or quick fixes...it’s about noticing patterns, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, and recognising that you’re not alone.


    If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I react this way in relationships?” or felt frustrated by your own responses, this episode is for you. Press play to start seeing your reactions with clarity, awareness, and a little more compassion for yourself.

  • Therapist Shares What Low Self-Esteem Really is & What Keeps it Stuck

    If you struggle with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or feeling not good enough, ands it impacts your anxiety and wellbeing - you’re in the right place. Honestly, a lot of people look confident and happy on the outside but privately feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxious attachment, perfectionism, and self-criticism.

    In this episode, I (Psychotherapist and Self-Esteem Specialist, Carly Ann) open up a deeper conversation about what low self-esteem really is and why it can continue showing up even when you are doing the inner work. - we look at what keeps it going.

    Low self-worth often isn’t just about confidence. It can be connected to deeper beliefs we carry about ourselves and the subtle patterns that keep those beliefs alive in everyday life, I will explain more in this episode.

    If certain situations trigger intense self-doubt, you jump to the worst conclusions about yourself, or things just feel so difficult, I think this could really help you today.

    I work with thoughtful, capable people who often appear confident externally but internally struggle with rumination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and feeling like they are never quite good enough.

    This episode is for anyone beginning to question their relationship with themselves and wanting to understand low self-esteem and self-worth on a deeper level.

    If you are learning to reparent yourself, build self-acceptance, and develop a kinder inner voice - welcome to the community.

  • Stop Comparing Yourself and Caring What People Think: CBT Therapist Explains a Powerful Technique

    Do you care too much about what other people think? Are you constantly comparing yourself socially and feel like everyone else is more successful, more confident, more together than you?


    In this episode, I talk about low self-esteem and the exhausting habit of comparing yourself to colleagues, exes, friends, and other mums.


    From overthinking group chats and replaying conversations to scrolling social media and feeling behind, this pattern keeps you worrying, shrinking, and playing small inside your comfort zone - and this only makes worse how much you care!


    I share a powerful self-help technique used in therapy called Behavioural Experiments, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tool designed to help you challenge negative thoughts, test your fears in real life, and build genuine confidence and self-love.


    Instead of letting comparison and fear control your choices, you will learn how to step outside your comfort zone and start proving to yourself that you are enough, in four simple steps.


    If you are ready to stop feeling inferior and start strengthening your self-esteem and self-worth, this episode will give you a practical and empowering place to begin.

  • How to Stop Obsessing & Letting Negative Thoughts Take Over (Using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

    ⁠HERE⁠⁠ are all the details for The Self-Worth RESET, make sure you join up today


    If you are feeling not good enough and currently working on Self-Esteem, it’s very possible you get stuck in your thoughts.


    Perhaps overthinking what was said, worrying about a text, replaying a mistake, chasing reassurance, getting jealous, or even caring too much what someone thinks…


    This isn’t because you’re “too much”… it’s because your mind is ‘hooked’ and locked into the stories


    In this video, I’ll teach you a simple tool from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that helps you stop automatic thoughts from taking over - like the ones that say:

    • “I’m not enough”

    • “It’s my fault and everyone knows”

    • “I’m going to be abandoned”

    • “I’m in trouble”


    What if I told you, you don’t need to fight your thoughts?

    You don’t need actually need more reassurance?

    What you do need is space from the stories your mind keeps replaying on an exhausting loop


    This episode will help you:

    • Stop feeling controlled by insecurity

    • Reduce overthinking

    • Break the cycle/loop of rumination/worry using a simple ACT tool

    • Feel more grounded and able to get space instead of being on a loop


    If this resonates, like and subscribe for more practical psychology tools that actually help develop self-worth & self-esteem in real life.
