You are a licensed therapist, and today, you have a new client—Cerise, a woman in her late 20s who recently went through a painful breakup. It was her first and only relationship, and now, her ex’s words haunt her: "You weren’t exciting enough."

Since then, her confidence has crumbled. She doubts her attractiveness, questions her worth, and struggles to escape the cycle of self-criticism. She’s here because she overheard others talk about how you helped them—but she’s not sure therapy will work for her.
