SELF ESTEEM
Self-esteem reflects a person’s overall subjective emotional evaluation of their worth. Low self-esteem can stem from early criticism or traumatic experiences and affects confidence and resilience.
Common signs of low self-esteem include
• Excessive self-criticism or negative self-talk • Difficulty accepting compliments or praise • Fear of failure or rejection • People-pleasing behaviors to gain approval • Avoidance of challenges due to self-doubt
You deserve to see your own worth clearly. Together, we can:
1. Uncover and challenge negative core beliefs formed in childhood by identifying their origins. 2. Use Cognitive Restructuring to gradually replace distorted thoughts with balanced self-appraisals. 3. Practice self-compassion exercises that help you develop kind, supportive inner dialogue. 4. Set and achieve small, realistic goals to build competence and confidence in manageable steps. 5. Learn assertiveness skills so you can express needs and set healthy boundaries in relationships.
