Inferiority Complex: Understanding Its Origins and Overcoming Its Grip
🕊️ Podcast: The Power of Peacefulness
✨ Episode Summary:
Have you ever heard that quiet inner voice whisper, “You’re not good enough”? Whether it shows up at work, in relationships, or while scrolling online, that subtle—sometimes overwhelming—sense of inadequacy may be something deeper: an inferiority complex.
In this episode, we explore:
🔹 The psychology behind inferiority complex and where it comes from
🔹 Why it’s more than just low self-esteem
🔹 How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and social comparison keep us stuck
🔹 Practical tools to challenge the inner critic and build confidence
🔹 How delegation, self-compassion, and boundaries are powerful healing tools
With stories, science, and gentle encouragement, this conversation will help you peel back the layers of self-doubt and reconnect with your sense of worth.
