17. Why You Are Afraid to Make the Wrong Decision and How to Change It

Many of my clients struggle with the intense fear of making the wrong decision. Why do so many of us struggle with this fear, and why is it so intense? Listen in as I walk you through all of this, including how your childhood is linked to this fear and why women tend to struggle with this intense fear more often than men do.

Based on values instilled in us in childhood, we sometimes find ourselves feeling stuck between what is right and what is wrong, which is why we fear making the wrong decision. Stepping up into your own autonomy means that you get to decide on your own values, which means that you can provide your own validation. Doing so can relieve so much suffering in your mind.
