Why You Can't Trust Yourself (And How to Fix It)
In today's episode I explain why you struggle to trust yourself and share the simple strategy to rebuild self-trust. I'll help you identify healthy vs unhealthy attachment to your therapist, recognize when you're protecting yourself in therapy, and understand the root causes of intimacy fears. I also cover different therapeutic styles, OCD vs OCD-like tendencies, and practical tips for developing secure attachment patterns.
In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, I address six of your questions about self-trust, therapy struggles, and mental health challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck in life, questioning your therapeutic relationship, or dealing with intrusive thoughts, I provide actionable insights for your healing journey.
Key Topics I Discuss
• My promise-keeping method for building self-trust
• Signs of healthy vs unhealthy therapist attachment
• Why some therapists avoid deep work (and what to do about it)
• Understanding protection vs control in therapy
• Root causes of intimacy fears and how to overcome them
• OCD symptoms vs OCD-like tendencies explained
