Why do I struggle to ask for help?

The Global Citizen Therapy Podcast

There are so many different reasons you may find yourself constantly wondering, "Why can't I ask for help?" It's a question that many daughters of immigrants ask themselves and so in this week's podcast episode, I address it. I share my own journey and struggles with this and touch on a few different reasons why you may struggle to accept help such as:

• Perfectionism
• People-pleasing
• Self-reliance as a result of parentification

...and more.

I share with you some real-life examples of how I am healing and overcoming my need to control everything and do it all on my own in hopes that it will inspire you to tune in to your body and know when it's time to reach out for help. This episode is for you if you find it hard to ask for help and are wondering what you can do about it. We hope you enjoy this episode.
