The Impact of Childhood Expectations on Adult Stress and Self-Worth
Childhood expectations shape adult stress patterns and self-worth challenges that persist into adulthood. This therapeutic process reveals how early pressures influence current emotional struggles and offers pathways to lasting inner peace.
In today's demanding world, childhood expectations continue shaping stress responses, self-esteem, and personal fulfillment.
