Do I Have to Say I'm Sorry?
As I sat with patients this week, I noticed something that made me reflect on my own behavior. One client apologized for not having a pedicure before her session. Then another apologized for being five minutes late. And another for her teenager calling during our time together.
It struck me how frequently we, as women, say "I'm sorry" for simply existing in our natural state or managing the complexities of our lives. We're constantly trying to be pleasant, acceptable, and pleasing to others - but at what cost? I wonder if this constant din of apologies is drowning out our own internal needs and authentic selves.
