Fear Of Failure
Are you afraid of failure? Does the fear of failure cripple you and make it impossible for you to make decisions? Does the fear of failure limit you in what you will try, whether it’s in your career, your personal life or your relationships? Does fear of failure lead you to difficulties in decision making where you get analysis, paralysis? Is the fear of failure keeping you awake at night, producing so much anxiety that it can be difficult or overwhelming to keep going to work or meeting with people?
Fear of failure is an extremely painful condition that individuals have developed in childhood. Often, there was a disturbance or a parenting style combined with the child’s personality that produced an outcome where the individual believes if they make a mistake, if they get bad grades, they are an unworthy, unlovable, horrible human being. Whether or not that was the parent’s or educator’s intention, it doesn’t matter. This child learned that who they are isn’t as important as what they are able to do. And if they got bad grades or they made a mistake, the consequences were severe from their parents or care givers.
As a result, this fear of failure gets internalized and integrated into the person’s identity. It compromises their ability to be balanced and their self-evaluation. It leads to procrastination, anxiety, sometimes compulsive behavior. The fear of failure can really limit a person’s ability to try new things. Failure is a key part of life and we have to have an open and embracing style so that we can learn and grow.
All in the Family Counselling Centre Pte. Ltd. and Tammy Fontana, lead therapist, have extensive experience in helping people heal from the fear of failure. We do this through individual counselling and therapy, as well as couple counselling and therapy. We realise not everybody is ready to do individual or couple counselling. Therefore, we have created an educational series addressing fear of failure, procrastination and other issues.
We provide thoughtfully tailored confidential education classes. We realise not everyone is ready for therapy. Visit our website to learn about these: https://www.allinthefamilycounselling.com/educational-group-work/
Our educational series are designed to be done in the privacy and comfort of your home, where you can have complete anonymity and at the same time access to our highly trained therapist who will start to educate you on what this is and steps you can take to healing yourself. Our educational series lead a path where you can engage in individual or couple counselling, as well as a path to attend our Croatia retreats, where we further deepen the knowledge and learning through an experiential therapeutic holiday.
