In my clinical practice, I work with many high-achieving professional women—“superwomen”—who pride themselves on willpower, discipline, and excellence in multiple areas of their lives.
One such client, Sally, sought help with poor sleep, mood swings, brain fog, and weight struggles that she couldn’t overcome despite her best efforts. She was typical of many outwardly strong, warrior-type women who are emotionally sensitive inside. Like many others, she had learned to toughen up to succeed in her career and “fit in” with modern norms. However, years of suppressing her sensitive feminine side had taken its toll, manifesting in poor health and relationship challenges.
