Insourcing Worthiness Starts with Awareness
In this conversational excerpt, Caryn Meininger explores the issue of women feeling unworthy and the concept of "insourcing" inherent worthiness. She asks what women can do to reclaim that sense of worth. Speaker B narrows the discussion to a specific scenario: a woman in her 40s who repeatedly dates emotionally unavailable, non‑committal men, many of whom are divorced. He observes a gendered pattern after breakups, noting that while women tend to experience intense pain but eventually heal, men often do not heal at all. The dialogue highlights the perceived internal block that limits women’s sense of deserving love, the recurring dating pattern, and a stark view of men’s post‑breakup healing, setting the stage for later suggestions on how women might insource their own worthiness.
