Self-Loathing: Feeling like an imposter in your own life

Dial Emma - Ein Podcast von Emma Reed Turrell - Montags

Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.This week, we hear a deeply personal and vulnerable dilemma from a listener who feels like an imposter in her own life. She struggles to feel like she 'belongs' in her friendship groups and her family unit, and often leans into self-sabotage and feelings of jealousy to cope with an overwhelming fear of ending up alone.During the episode, we unpack where these painful beliefs often come from—early life experiences where a child might learn to take the blame in order to feel safe. Through therapeutic insight and compassion, we explore how harsh self-judgment, fear of rejection, and unmet needs can shape adult relationships and our inner narrative.This episode offers a gentle, validating invitation to reconsider: Is it really you that’s not okay—or is there something about this that’s not okay?If you have a dilemma for Emma, please fill out this form. ---Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Social media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: [email protected]
