Dear canary,
how have you been doing? I’ve come across a youtube video that talks about something similar that you’re experiencing – afraid to show your quirky side. It’s by Barbara Heffernan, and it’s called “Conquer your critical inner voice”. The part relevant for you starts at 3:55.
Since you’ve been watching Therapy in a Nutshell, I believe Barbara Heffernan’s videos might help you too. I like them a lot.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
