Where do insecurities come from?

[markwood02]

Many people carry quiet emotional burdens that can shape how they think and feel every day. Deep insecurity often develops from past experiences such as criticism, rejection, trauma, or inconsistent support during childhood. In mental health care, understanding these roots is an important step toward healing. Therapy encourages self-reflection, helping individuals challenge negative beliefs and build healthier self-esteem. By learning emotional regulation, strengthening boundaries, and practicing self-compassion, people can gradually replace insecurity with confidence. Over time, supportive guidance and personal growth create a foundation for a more stable and empowered sense of self.
