Is being a "good girl" costing you your 'Self'? - Understanding Good Girl Syndrome
Description
Gooooooood Mooooorrrrrnnniiinnngggg lovely listeners!!
Thank you for joining us on this chilly old Thursday! Welcome back to another episode!
What is good girl syndrome?
Be quiet, sit still, don’t take up space and look pretty – the good girl narrative makes women feel guilty for being human.
•Getting approval from other people follows us from childhood
•Validation that hearing this phrase gives us
•It teaches us from a young age to sacrifice our own wants for others
•Embodying this “good girl” complex disconnects us from our authenticity and safety to express ourselves
•Leads to feeling frustrated and resentful.
•Feeling the weight of responsibility for others
We hope you enjoy!
