Guilt, shame, work/life imbalance, power-imbalances in relationships/career; fear of the unknown; decision-making anxiety; difficulty trusting own perceptions/reality; being victimized, victim-blamed and slut-shamed; spiritual trauma and purity culture; trust/doubts/jealousy; insecurity; codependency; self-image/concept/body image; mental and physical exhaustion; chronic illnesses often with no discernible diagnosis or successful treatment: sleep disorders, migraines, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, autoimmune, complicated grief, feeling the weight of the world; being an empath/highly sensitive person; are just but a few of the issues that are prevalent among women in therapy today. Sadly, childhood and societal programming; adverse childhood experiences and trauma; modern-day pressure and expectations, and feeling stuck in cycles of toxic relational interactions and patterns, lead to a sense of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair among 21st-century women.
