Overthinkers & Self-Critical Thinkers Group
Connect with others to help calm your mind and silence the inner critic.
Being a teen girl is hard! Busy schedules and so many responsibilities - school, work, family, friends, sports and clubs.. ahhh!
There are pressures to be a good student, a good daughter, a good friend, a good employee, and just a good person in general. That is A LOT to figure out!
All of this pressure you might feel from others, and even from yourself, can lead to things like anxiety, stress, depression, low self-worth, perfectionism, and more.
If you are experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, you likely also have a harsh inner critic.
This inner critic feeds into anxiety, stress, etc. by building up expectations for yourself that are impossible to live up to.
It says that the only way you’ll fit in is if you pretend to be someone you’re not and hide who you truly are.
Or it might tell you people will only like you is if you make every sacrifice to (at least try to) make them happy.
It tells you that just as you are, you are not enough. No matter how hard you work to get “unstuck,” the inner critic can make you believe that you don’t deserve to move forward or that your not even capable of it.
The anxious and critical thoughts have become second nature, and you’re ready to find a way out of this negative and exhausting cycle.
Anxiety, self-worth, and related concerns can feel isolating. It can feel like you’re the only one experiencing these things. But you are absolutely not alone!
If you’re feeling mentally, emotionally, and even physically exhausted from “overthinking,” lacking confidence in yourself that is affecting things like your school performance and friendships, and feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, then this group may be for you.
