“I Am Not Good Enough” — A Core Limiting Belief

This belief doesn’t sound dramatic when it shows up in your mind.
It sounds normal. Familiar. Safe, even. But underneath, it shapes how you show up in relationships, careers, parenting — and how much self-worth you’re allowed to feel.

What It Sounds Like Internally:

• “I’m not doing enough.”
• “They probably regret choosing me.”
• “If I mess this up, everyone will know I’m not actually qualified.”

Where It Shows Up:

• Overfunctioning in high-pressure environments
• Perfectionism that never feels finished
• Avoiding vulnerability, asking for help, or taking up space
• Feeling like success is accidental — or temporary

What It Can Lead To:

Unchecked, this belief often evolves into:

• “If I Don’t Perform, I’ll Be Rejected”
• “If I Rest, I’m Failing”
• “I Always Mess It Up Anyway”

What Therapy Targets:

We don’t “correct” this belief. We help your nervous system stop flagging success, praise, and stillness as threats.
Through Pattern Reconditioning, we remap your response to worth — from fear and avoidance, to confidence and calm.
