Overcoming Inferiority

​ â€‹

 

A 6-Week Journey From Inferiority to Equality

**Doors are open! This course is available to buy until Friday 5th December**​

You've spent years trying to prove you're good enough. What if that was never the problem you needed to solve?​​

​

Your people-pleasing, your perfectionism, your anxiety - they aren't character flaws. They're protective strategies you created early in life to answer one question:

"How do I belong?"​

​

Here's the truth: feeling inferior isn't a fact about you - it's a perception. And perceptions can change.

​

This 6-week self-study course will help you uncover the roots of your inferiority feelings, build a stronger sense of self, and stop relying on external approval - so that you can finally feel equal and secure in who you are.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?  

​​​

You can't shake the feeling that you're not good enough. You might look confident on the surface. You might have achieved a lot and seem like you "have it all together." But deep down, there's this persistent sense of inferiority -  like a feeling from childhood that never quite left, no matter how hard you try. 

​

→ You're exhausted from being stuck in your head. Replaying conversations, analysing what you said, scanning for signs you've messed up. You can't relax because you're constantly monitoring how others perceive you. 

​

→ Comparison is stealing your joy. Seeing others' success - on social media, at work, in your social circle - triggers that familiar sinking feeling: "What's wrong with me? I feel so inadequate" 

​

→ You feel like an outsider - even with people who care about you. You assume others have closer bonds, inside jokes, a belonging you can't access. You're always slightly on the edge.

​

→ You rely on external validation to feel okay - and it's leaving you stuck. You can't make decisions without checking with others because you don't trust yourself. You need constant reassurance or recognition to feel valuable.  

​

→ You're performing instead of belonging. You overcommit and then feel overwhelmed. You apologise for things that aren't your fault. You're constantly trying to stand out and impress others. 

 

IMAGINE IF YOU COULD…

​

 Hear feedback or criticism without it shaking your sense of worth

​

 Feel confident in social situations, trusting yourself and knowing you are valued

​

 Be free from comparison and self-doubt, embracing your unique strengths and contributions

​​

 Experience deeper connections with others, without sacrificing yourself

​​​

 Finally feel good enough - just as you are

​​​

You've tried the self-help books. You've worked on yourself. Maybe you've even been to therapy. 

So why does nothing seem to stick?

​

Because most approaches treat the symptoms - the anxiety, the low mood, the comparison - without addressing what's running underneath: a deep belief that you're inferior to others.​​

​

That's why I created Overcoming Inferiority - a 6-week self-study course grounded in Adlerian psychology to help you identify your private logic, understand where it came from, and rewrite it at the root.

What You'll Receive

​

✓ My unique framework based on Adlerian psychology

✓ 6 Modules packing full of theory, real life examples, insights and practical tools

✓17 video lessons 
✓15 Reflective exercises with strategies, tools and journaling prompts 
✓ Lifetime access - revisit anytime you need a refresher
✓ Self-paced learning - go at your own speed 

​

By the end of the course you'll be able to:

  • Recognise when you're stuck in the inferiority loop and respond with awareness

  • Build a secure sense of self rooted in your values, not others' approval

This isn't just understanding why you never feel good enough.

It's the process of finally changing it.

 A SNEAK PEAK INSIDE EACH MODULE 

​

Over 6 weeks, you'll move step-by-step through the

Inferiority to Equality Framework based on the Adlerian model

 

INSIGHT + ACTION = CHANGE

​​

​​​

Module 1: Understanding Inferiority

Learn the foundations of Adlerian psychology and how inferiority sits underneath anxiety, comparison, and self-doubt. You'll map your own timeline of "not good enough" moments and start noticing patterns without judgment.

​​

​

​

Module 2: Your Unique Pattern

Discover your lifestyle pattern (people-pleasing, control, avoidance, or moral superiority) and connect it to the core beliefs driving your behavior. You'll explore the mistaken beliefs keeping you stuck and uncover your early conclusions about yourself, others, and the world.

​​

​

​

Module 3: Triggers & The Inferiority Loop

Learn how the Inferiority Loop works and identify what triggers yours. You'll recognise how your protective strategies create disconnection - and start using tools to interrupt the cycle before it spirals.

​​

​

​

Module 4: Strengthening Your Sense of Self

Build internal security by clarifying your values, identifying your strengths, and practicing self-encouragement. You'll create your personalised toolkit for staying grounded when triggered - without needing external validation.

​​

​

​

Module 5: Social Interest & Healthy Connection

Shift from self-protection to genuine contribution. Learn Separation of Tasks to stop taking things personally, set boundaries without guilt, and move from "What do they think of me?" to "How can I contribute?"

​​

​

​

Module 6: Integration & Moving Forward

Review your growth, compare your pre- and post-course questionnaires, and create your action plan for maintaining these shifts long-term. You'll leave with confidence that you can handle setbacks without falling back into old patterns.

​

Don't just take it from me, here's what people who've worked with me using this Adlerian framework have experienced:

​

 

"I've always been interested in personal development, but it wasn't until I discovered Adlerian therapy that I really understood the root of my anxiety. Working with my innermost beliefs changed everything — I finally felt it in my bones that I am enough."

"I'm a completely different person to who I was before. My nervous system is calm and regulated. I just feel safe in being me and being human, which feels crazy when the daily default was anxiety and sadness. I finally actually believe that I deserve to be happy and healthy"

"I had been holding myself back around other women for over 30 years. I thought I was weird and socially awkward. Now I'm confident and relaxed. I'm chatty and engaging with new people in a way I've never done before. I've built genuine new connections and friendships — this is all I ever wanted."

"I'm now able to understand and manage my response to different situations that raise difficult emotions. I feel grounded and resilient in a way I never did before."

Hi, I'm Judy  - the Psychotherapist behind the 'Overcoming Inferiority' course. 

​

Fifteen years ago, I was trapped in cycles of proving my worth - striving, performing, never feeling good enough. It led to burnout and recurring depression. 

​

Adlerian therapy changed everything. It helped me understand why I felt inferior, where those beliefs came from, and how to rewrite them. For the first time, I felt equal and significant. 

​

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years  working in charity leadership, working with communities experiencing social disadvantage. This work showed me how deeply inferiority and belonging shape our lives.

​

Now, I work as a BACP registered Adlerian therapist along side teaching and content creation.  I'm passionate about helping people overcome inferiority - not just for their own wellbeing, but for the ripple effect it creates in relationships, families, and communities.​​

I created this course to bring together everything I've learned  through my clinical work, Adlerian training, and my own lived experience - into a clear, compassionate framework. One that doesn't just explain why you feel inferior, but shows you how to shift it at the root. 

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF....

You're self-aware  but still find yourself stuck in the same patterns of people-pleasing, comparison, or self-doubt, even when you know they're not serving you.

You often feel "not good enough" under the surface, and you're tired of  relying on external validation to feel good about yourself. 

You've tried self-help books, positive affirmations, or even therapy, but that sense of inferiority its still there deep down. You're looking for something that addresses the root cause, not just surface-level coping strategies.

You're ready to stop feeling "less than" and do the work to overcome inferiority, embrace your equal worth, and show up secure in who you are.
