We all have self-doubt now and then, but chronic insecurity is a destructive pattern that’ll sabotage your relationships with everyone from your partner, to friends, coworkers and yourself. Most of the tips and tools I see about how to stop being insecure don’t work because they’re thinking about your insecurity all wrong.

With this different approach and the new tools you’ll learn today, you’ll be able to create a more secure feeling in your life and relationships.
