Overcoming self doubt and second guessing

In this episode of We Are All Fine (W.A.A.F — Flawed, Insecure, Nervous, and Emotional), counsellor and psychotherapist Heidi Lester explores the roots of self-doubt — that quiet inner voice that questions your worth, your instincts, and your decisions. You’ll learn: • Why self-doubt shows up and how it keeps you stuck in overthinking • How it often hides beneath perfectionism, people-pleasing, and comparison • The subtle ways self-doubt appears in the counselling room • Where it really comes from — including early experiences, anxiety, and misunderstood interactions • Practical ways to start rebuilding self-trust and growing confidence through small, meaningful steps If you’ve ever caught yourself replaying conversations, hesitating to speak up, or seeking reassurance before making a move — this episode will help you quiet that inner critic and begin to trust your own voice again. I’d love to hear your thoughts about today’s episode — what resonated, what you’re practicing, or what self-trust means to you.
