4. "Self-care isn't selfish. It's selfless"

Amelie comes into this session with big questions: 'What am I going to do with my life?', and 'How do I fit into this world?'. She feels insecure about herself, because while she is good at many different things, she isn't 'the best' at anything in particular. And so, she tells me: 'I am not extraordinary'. In this episode, I coach Amelie around this negative belief about herself, and I gently guide her through exercises focused on affirmations and positive self-talk. It makes her incredibly uncomfortable, and leaves her shaking with emotion.

In truth, at only 19 years old, Amelie has an extraordinary life story to tell: she's travelled the world on her own, battled depression, overcome an eating disorder, and has a huge drive to now use her experiences to help others who are struggling. Although she herself doesn't believe it at first, during his conversation she slowly starts to see that she has a lot to offer the world. The first thing she needs to do is to get out of 'turtle mode', to stop hiding herself, and instead to become the person she wants to be (and deep down already is) : her true authentic 'sunshine' self.

Coming out of turtle mode can be scary, and Amelie certainly feels all the feels during this session. Do listen until the end, where Amelie receives a huge insight around why she struggles so much with being her authentic joyful self: she feels it's selfish to focus on her own happiness. But I help her to see why prioritizing her own joy is a selfless act that ultimately benefits the entire world around her.
