Questions we share.

Real questions, thoughtful perspectives. These conversations are for everyone.

Why do I feel like I don’t matter?

A young adult describes years of depression, low self-worth and isolation after emotionally abusive childhood experiences. They report self-harm and thoughts about not wanting to live, and ask how to seek help when disclosure feels frightening.

Why do I feel inadequate?

A reader with a history of abuse describes feeling worthless when comparing their appearance with others and briefly superior when putting people down. They want to stop chasing perfection and develop purpose, self-acceptance and healthier relationships.

Does a therapist have to report self-injury as suicidal?

A reader with a history of self-injury wants therapy but fears that disclosure could lead to hospitalization despite no current suicidal plans. They ask how therapists distinguish self-injury from suicide risk and explain confidentiality.

A little closer to home.
