Whose feelings are whose? Overcoming Codependence, People-Pleasing & Anxiety
Codependence, people-pleasing, and anxious attachment are common challenges that can leave you feeling drained and disconnected from your true self. If you find yourself constantly prioritising others' feelings and neglecting your own needs, therapy can help you set healthy boundaries, develop self-respect, and create more balanced, fulfilling relationships. At Kaki Psychology, we focus on supporting your personal growth, overcoming anxiety and perfectionism, and navigating cultural issues to help you live authentically and confidently.
Finding and Using your voice
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any” - Alice Walker
Finding your voice is about more than just speaking up—it’s about recognising your value and building confidence in your opinions. Dr. Natasha Tung, a trauma-informed Clinical Psychologist and Couples Counsellor in Prahran, Melbourne, discusses how assertive communication can boost self-respect and self-awareness while fostering healthier relationships. If you're ready to challenge self-doubt and step into your power, therapy can guide you in developing the skills to express your needs and desires confidently.
To all who of you who are hard on yourselves
To all of you who are hard on yourselves.
You are constantly chiding yourself for decisions you've made, time you've wasted, and for not being good enough. You see all the ways you should have, could have, done better.
This constant questioning of yourself is exhausting
If we constantly depend on outcomes or people's responses to feel good about ourselves, this feeling will likely be unstable and fleeting; hard-earned yet quickly lost.
