Why failure feels so painful

Today Anna tackles a new anonymous Confession from the Therapy Room;

"I keep self sabotaging my career as I'm so worried I'm going to fail. I play out worst case scenarios all the time and talk myself out of putting myself forward for promotions or new projects. How do I learn to have faith in myself?"

Anna replies with some compassionate advice and tips that will help everyone, regardless of whether they can relate to this confession or not.
