Deep dives
Fear of Failure
The fear of failure is often rooted in perfectionism and can lead to feelings of shame. When individuals fail, they may feel that their identity is being threatened, which can result in embarrassment and a reluctance to pursue new opportunities. Acknowledging this fear can help individuals understand that failure is a natural part of learning and growing, rather than a reflection of their worth. Accepting that it is acceptable to be 'good enough' instead of perfect can encourage people to take risks and start projects they have been holding back.
