Breaking the Silence — How to Reclaim Your Voice and Confidence

Breaking the Silence — How to Reclaim Your Voice and Confidence

Silence may have felt like safety in the past. But when it starts holding you back, it’s time to step into something new: using your voice with confidence.

The good news? You don’t have to overhaul your entire life to break the silence. Small steps create powerful shifts.


Small but Mighty Steps to Finding Your Voice

  • Start small. Speak up in low-stakes settings first—share an idea with a trusted friend, or voice your opinion in a casual conversation.

  • Practice “no” without apology. Try saying no without overexplaining. Simple. Direct. Enough.

  • Own your story. Share something personal, even briefly, without minimizing or rushing through it.

  • Pause before silencing yourself. When you feel the urge to hold back, ask: Am I staying quiet out of choice—or out of fear?

Every time you take a step, you prove to yourself: My voice matters. I matter.


The Ripple Effect of Using Your Voice

Finding your voice doesn’t just change conversations. It changes how you:

  • Show up in relationships.

  • Navigate opportunities at work.

  • Carry yourself with confidence.

  • Feel inside your own body—less tension, more peace.


How Therapy Can Help

At SDC Therapy, we know communication is about more than words. It’s about healing the root causes of silence—fear, self-doubt, anxiety—and helping you build strategies to speak with clarity and confidence.

Therapy offers you a safe space to practice, grow, and reclaim the power of your voice. Because when you find your voice, you don’t just change how you communicate—you change your life.


Your Voice is Worth Hearing

Silence might have protected you once. But now? Your voice is ready to be heard.

💬 This is your reminder: You are not “too much.” You are not “not enough.”
You are worthy of being heard exactly as you are.

Sheridan Cotrell

I (Sheridan) used to be that visionary business owner with all the balls in the air. I had my master's degree in speech therapy and created a six-figure consulting business in that field. But I didn’t stop there. I created another six-figure business as a health coach, and then one as a business coach for good measure. But the whole time I was trading time for money. I worked a zillion hours a week. Don’t believe me? I have five kids, and in addition to the work stuff, I was an available and committed mother to my children – doing the laundry, ferrying them to activities, and on and on... By outward measures, I looked successful, but on the inside, I was mentally and physically exhausted. I had hit a ceiling in my income and every incremental increase required more from me. I was in constant striving mode, trying to push myself to constantly do more. Until it all fell apart (even typing that makes me quake remembering). I had a major health crisis that caused me to pull the plug on 95% of my business. Almost everything came to a full stop. Which was the best gift I ever received. You see, working hard and learning more skills is not enough. Heart, vision and best intentions are not enough. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I didn’t know what I was doing even though it looked like I did.
