Psychologists Meryle Gillman and Diane Gage advise indecisive people in their book, The Confidence Quotient: 10 Steps to Conquer Self-Doubt. They suggest recognizing negative messages they’ve received and visualizing a doubter, like a critical parent, and a supporter, imagining them working positively together.
