"Practical tools to help you release shame, embrace your full potential, and live with greater peace, confidence, and authenticity.
Not Yours to Carry is a powerful guide to help you overcome shame and break free from the grip of societal expectations so you can deeply connect with your true self. Through a blend of personal stories, case studies, and practical exercises, this book explores how perfectionism, people pleasing, and the masks you wear to protect yourself keep you stuck in cycles of self-doubt and prevent authentic living.
You'll discover the origins of shame, how it manifests in your life-its psychological toll and its impact on personal and professional relationships-and how the pursuit of approval reinforces harmful patterns and coping mechanisms. But this book isn't just about understanding the problem; it's about healing.
You'll learn to identify your shame triggers, embrace vulnerability, and dismantle the barriers to connection that prevent you from forming the deep, meaningful relationships you deserve. By the end of this book, you'll unlock the power of self-compassion, self-acceptance, and the benefits of living an authentic life, free from the pressure to perform and the constant need for validation.
It's time to embrace yourself fully-flaws and all-and choose self-respect over shame."
"Do you always show up for everyone else, get praised for your strength, and look like you have it all together while secretly experiencing intense worry, self-doubt, or fear of failure? Do you work hard to please others while feeling disconnected from the 'real you'?
People with high-functioning anxiety (HFA) often appear competent and accomplished on the outside, but internally, it's a very different story. HFA is rooted in fear - the fear of others seeing the 'real' us - and can lead to a cycle of overworking, overthinking, and self-criticism.
Award-winning psychologist Dr Lalitaa is here to tell you that you don't have to live like this anymore. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and case studies, Dr Lalitaa offers a five-step plan that will radically shift how you see yourself. You'll discover:
· the main symptoms of high-functioning anxiety and how they emerge in daily behaviour
· the two sides of high-functioning anxiety: how you see yourself vs. how you present yourself to the world
· how to release old modes of thinking and habitual thought patterns and replace them with healthy attitudes
· practical methods for creating and sustaining long-term lifestyle changes, so that you can calm the inner panic, find balance, and thrive
This transformational audiobook will show you how to break the toxic cycle of high-functioning anxiety - for good.
